Year: 2023
Content-Type: Report
Description: The aim of this publication is to share knowledge on the opportunity of conducting early due diligence in infrastructure projects to support the Sustainable Development Goals. It provides a case study on the potential offered by innovative digital tools to facilitate advanced impact assessment. It aims to share learning that can support similar projects in different contexts and geographies. The case study looks at the design of a project in Uzbekistan to upgrade part of the A380 highway (section 673–698 km). In assessing the pavement design, a team from the Asian Development Bank partnered with ORIS to pilot a multiple-scenario digital analysis. The project demonstrates how road design can be significantly improved by making informed and data-driven decisions at an early stage, based on local conditions. The following box summarizes the key characteristics of the A380 highway upgrade design. Through the ORIS Materials Intelligence platform, the project was digitized to create a digital twin. After compiling and processing local construction materials into the ORIS platform, a comparative analysis on multiple scenarios was conducted, using digital simulations and artificial intelligence.
