Understanding the implications of digitisation and automation in the context of Industry 4.0
TL;DR: The results of the triangulation approach, which consists of a comprehensive systematic literature review and case study research, are presented, by illustrating a PESTEL framework and a value chain model, to present the implications of Industry 4.0 for the construction industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Research trends and opportunities of augmented reality applications in architecture, engineering, and construction
TL;DR: This paper discusses trends in AR applications for architecture, engineering, construction, and facility management (AEC/FM), and outlines the research trends and opportunities for applying AR in the fields of AEC/ FM.
Journal ArticleDOI
A framework for construction safety management and visualization system
Chansik Park,Hyeonjin Kim +1 more
TL;DR: A framework for a novel safety management and visualization system (SMVS) that integrates building information modeling, location tracking, augmented reality (AR), and game technologies is proposed that has a great potential to improve the identification of field safety risks, increase the risk recognition capacity of workers, and enhance the real-time communication between construction manager and workers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Construction performance monitoring via still images, time-lapse photos, and video streams
TL;DR: This paper extensively reviews these state-of-the-art vision-based construction performance monitoring methods and divides them into two categories (namely project level: visual monitoring of civil infrastructure or building elements vs. operation level:Visual monitoring of construction equipment and workers).
Journal ArticleDOI
Digital construction: From point solutions to IoT ecosystem
TL;DR: In this article, the authors take a longitudinal view of literature to explain the current period as disruptive technology drives an evolutionary adaptation of the construction industry in a historical socio-technological process.

Collaborative knowledge management—A construction case study
Bhargav Dave,Lauri Koskela +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a case study where a collaborative knowledge management solution is implemented across a multi-functional construction company is presented, where a social web application was implemented to solve a particular knowledge sharing problem within the organisation's concrete pumping business.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobile ICT support for construction process improvement
TL;DR: This paper brings together the visions for information and communications technologies in construction and the changing requirements of the construction industry and illustrates how the areas identified as having potential for improvement can be addressed through the use of mobile IT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ubiquitous location tracking for context-specific information delivery on construction sites
TL;DR: It is argued that a successful and reliable location tracking system must be able to track a user's spatial context and deliver contextual data continuously in both outdoor and indoor environments to effectively support construction projects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generations of knowledge management in the architecture, engineering and construction industry: An evolutionary perspective
TL;DR: The paper suggests that value creation (third generation KM) is grounded in the appropriate combination of human networks, social capital, intellectual capital, and technology assets, facilitated by a culture of change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated construction activity monitoring system
TL;DR: A combined method, consisting of an automated activity tracking subsystem based on image recognition, an automated material tracking subsystem, and a mobile computing supported communication environment, based on the same 4D model of a building is presented.
