Enhancing Roadway Safety and Public Engagement

Overview

The Kingman, AZ Bypass Project was a critical infrastructure initiative aimed at improving traffic flow and safety along a major corridor connecting Phoenix and Las Vegas. The Arizona Department of Transportation(ADOT), in collaboration with Jacobs as the prime consultant, sought to develop an optimal roadway that met speed and safety standards while addressing public concerns. RDV Systems played a pivotal role by providing advanced 3D modeling and Road Safety Audit (RSA) integration, allowing stakeholders to visualize project impacts and ensure a data-driven design approach.

Challenges

  • Multiple stakeholders expressed concerns about the bypass’ impact on their properties and daily commutes.
  • ADOT required a highly detailed model to effectively communicate the project’s scope and address public inquiries.
  • Ensuring the final design met the highest safety standards through comprehensive RSA analysis.

Solutions

  • High-Fidelity 3D Model: A detailed visualization of the project, including the surrounding environment.
  • Integrated RSA Speed Analysis: Mapped directly onto the model to highlight safety implications.
  • Real-Time Adaptability: The model was continuously updated to reflect design modifications while assessing safety impacts.

The Unique Value RDV Provided

The implementation of RDV’s 123BIM technology transformed communication within the design team and significantly enhanced public engagement. By leveraging advanced visualization tools, ADOT and Jacobs were able to:

  • Clearly communicate project details and design impacts to stakeholders.
  • Address public concerns with precision and transparency.
  • Improve decision-making by incorporating real-time safety assessments.

Steve Boschen, Assistant Director for Infrastructure Delivery and Operations at ADOT, praised RDV’s technology during stakeholder meetings:

“RDV’s technology gave us a level of clarity and precision we hadn’t seen before. The ability to visually communicate safety impacts and design decisions in real-time made stakeholder engagement smoother and more effective than ever.”

These testimonials underscore the impact of RDV’s solutions in streamlining public discussions and supporting data-driven design choices.

Conclusion

By integrating advanced visualization and safety analysis tools, RDV Systems empowered ADOT and Jacobs to design a safer, more efficient roadway that met both technical and community needs. The success of the Kingman Bypass Project highlights how RDV’s innovative technology can transform public engagement and enhance roadway safety.
