About the research
Work in Stage 1 of this research focused on developing the software features required to automatically identify, categorize, and report the engineering details that often need to be extracted from bridge plan sets. The extracted information was from drawings, tables, and text blocks. Now, in Stage 2, work will include extensive testing, assessment, and quality control of the developed software using a variety of bridge plan sets provided by the Iowa, Minnesota, and California departments of transportation (DOTs). This will help achieve a software that will be both robust and reliable.
