| Description | The knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) will identify, demonstrate, and evaluate how to use high-level technologies to effectively plan high-quality infrastructure investments, especially for transport infrastructure, and measure their economic impacts. | ||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The recent advances in high-level technology offer opportunities to plan, construct, and maintain high-quality infrastructure. Spatial information, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and Internet of things could be used for designing, constructing, maintaining, and monitoring high-quality infrastructure projects. DMC governments and international development agencies, however, have been struggling to find effective ways to use high-level technologies. Without proper planning and consideration of options available, valuable opportunities could be missed. The value of missed opportunities could be invaluable. Thus, there is a strong and urgent need to conduct pilot case studies involving the effective use of high-level technologies to draw policy recommendations. | ||||
