Future thinking: location based technology and it’s adoption in major infrastructure projects

In the later part of the 20th century, the digital revolution gave modern humanity unprecedented access to information, but we have yet to fully realise the potential implications of this revolution on industry. The way that we understand, connect and interact with data in the delivery of major projects is still underdeveloped and there is a ways to go to fully realise the “digital railway” vision, but Crossrail and other major projects are exploring new technology and beginning to develop new processes that will dramatically change the currently accepted delivery and operation models, but the speed of change is slow. How do we support this shift change? How can we better use, connect and manage information in major project delivery?
