Abstract
In recent years, the advancement of digital technologies such as building information modeling (BIM), internet of things (IoT), and geographic information system (GIS) has had many impacts on the construction industry. However, limited research has been conducted on the integration of BIM, IoT, and GIS technologies, especially in construction resource monitoring. Therefore, this paper presents a state-of-the-art review of BIM, IoT, and GIS integration by focusing on their applications, challenges, research gaps, and future research directions. A systematic literature review and science mapping analysis were adopted in this study. The results identified the gaps in BIM, IoT, and GIS integration in construction resource monitoring, which include interoperability, data security, real-time dynamic monitoring, complex environmental data processing, environmental sustainability studies, prediction models, and convenience for the users. Moreover, challenges and future research directions were proposed. This paper contributes to extending the integrated applications of digital technologies in construction resource monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Automation in Construction is an international journal that focuses on publishing original research papers related to the use of Information Technologies in various aspects of the construction industry. The journal covers topics such as design, engineering, construction technologies, and the maintenance and management of constructed facilities.
The scope of Automation in Construction is extensive and covers all stages of the construction life cycle. This includes initial planning and design, construction of the facility, operation and maintenance, as well as the eventual dismantling and recycling of buildings and engineering structures.
