This project aimed to fully document and make available the automated back analysis tool developed to support commercial implementation, as well as investigate barriers to the adoption of data-driven adaptive design in practice through a targeted workshop. It provides guidance on future research developments needed to promote data-driven design in practice; promote provisions on adaptive design to be included in standards and guidance documents.
Outcomes
The workshop highlighted the need to develop the technology to be more reliable, the skills to operate Observational Method tools, the standards to underpin these and a body of open access case studies of good practice and techniques used on real projects.
Method
Expert workshop
Next Steps
While the tool is viable as described, there are various technical and contract-related issues to develop, and a business case would need to be made for its adoption.
