MARCH 20249 data governance and data `scrubbing' are required to maximize the effectiveness of the CDE and move into geospatial analysis and analytics. Integrating geospatial data into a CDE represents a pivotal advancement in transportation design. This approach fosters collaboration and communication and addresses critical challenges like version control, traceability, and data security. As the transportation sector embraces digital transformation, leveraging a CDE for geospatial data will become indispensable.USING GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY FOR TRANSPORTATION RISK ASSESSMENT AND RESILIENCEGiven the essential role of transportation systems in an emergency response situation, the nation has become more reliant on the overall resiliency of transportation networks. Geospatial technology plays a pivotal role in identifying and analyzing risks associated with transportation infrastructure. By integrating real-time data feeds and historical information, GIS tools can pinpoint vulnerable areas, assess natural disaster risks, and identify potential disruptions to transportation networks. Story maps of historic geospatial data can help engineers and planners integrate design elements to restore normal operations faster in a post-event situation. As the transportation sector evolves, the integration of geospatial technology for risk assessment and resilience becomes a fundamental strategy for ensuring the longevity and reliability of transportation systems in the face of an ever-changing environment.CHANGING THE DYNAMICS OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTIONThe integration of geospatial technology into transportation design represents a paradigm shift, offering unprecedented levels of collaboration, efficiency, and sustainability. From real-time data integration and digitalization, geospatial technology is shaping the future of transportation infrastructure. As the industry continues to embrace these advancements, we can expect designs that are efficient, sustainable, and responsive to the evolving needs of our dynamic world. The road ahead is paved with innovation, and geospatial technology is steering the way. The integration of geospatial technology into transportation design represents a paradigm shift, offering unprecedented levels of collaboration, efficiency, and sustainability
