80 Case Example Questions A P P E N D I X C NCHRP Synthesis 51-01 Practices for Construction-Ready Digital Terrain Models Follow-Up Phone Interview Questions 1. Describe your DTM journey (i.e., when did it start, what barriers did you encounter/how did you overcome them). 2. What training is provided to the construction staff and construction inspection staff in your state to use DTMs? 3. What benefits have you seen from using DTMs in construction? 4. What could enable your state to use DTMs in construction more? 5. Has your DOT executed a project that included a DTM as a legal contract document? Describe the decision-making process that led to your response. 6. If your contractors use a DTM for machine control or any other purposes, how do you ensure their model is equivalent to the designer’s DTM? 7. What suggestions do you have for lessons learned related to handing over the DTM to contractors?

Digital terrain models (DTMs) are three-dimensional (3D) models of the ground surface showing natural features such as ridges and breaklines.

The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Synthesis 560: Practices for Construction-Ready Digital Terrain Models documents processes and strategies used by state departments of transportation (DOTs) for the use and transfer of DTMs from design into the construction phase of highway projects.
