A review of technologies and applications for smart construction

Abstract

The internet of things, artificial intelligence and cloud computing offer new opportunities for smart applications in many industries. Potential benefits include improvements of industrial processes, products and services, greater dependability and lower operational costs. This paper reports on an analysis of trends, opportunities and challenges for smart construction by conducting a review of recently published scientific articles. It provides an overview of emerging smart construction applications in areas such as construction monitoring, construction site management, safety at work, early disaster warning, and resources and assets management.
