The AASHTO Information Delivery Manual (IDM) for the Design to Construction Data Exchange for Highway Bridges, First Edition (2023), defines a standardized set of information for exchanging model-based bridge data from design into construction. The manual states its purpose, organization, and target audience in an opening section, identifying who should apply the exchange specification. A later section provides an overview of the exchange requirement, describing the information that must pass between design and construction parties to execute construction. The goal is to support the development of technical solutions for computer-interoperable information exchange for highway bridges and related structures in the United States. The document therefore serves software developers and information managers as much as bridge engineers. It is intended for agencies, bridge design consultants, and contractors implementing model-based data exchange on bridge projects.
