The project record can help distinguish what was designed from what was actually constructed. Plans, specifications, design calculations, revisions, field measurements, inspection records, change orders, and as-built information can be compared to assess whether the available evidence indicates that a disputed condition originated in the design or developed through construction, modification, or field implementation.
Horizontal curves, vertical grades and curves, roadway profile, roadside obstructions, and other geometric features can affect the roadway a driver can see ahead and the path presented by the roadway. An expert can examine the relevant geometry and site conditions to determine which design characteristics are technically significant to the allegations being evaluated.
Depending on the applicable design standards, roadway, and project context, a departure from applicable design criteria may require a documented design exception, variance, or other agency-specific approval. An expert can examine the project records to identify any documented deviation, the design feature involved, the stated basis for the decision, and the technical context in which the resulting design was developed.
The areas of expertise can overlap. A highway design and construction expert may focus on the physical roadway, including its geometry, plans, specifications, construction, and resulting field condition, while a traffic engineering expert may focus more heavily on traffic operations, controls, signs, signals, capacity, and the movement of roadway users. The appropriate expertise depends on the technical issues in dispute and the expert's qualifications.
