Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the rapidly evolving construction industry, the advent of digital technologies has ushered in a new era of efficiency, sustainability, and innovation. This Special Issue titled "Recent Advances in the Digital Construction Industry and Its Applications" highlights the transformative impacts of digital tools and methodologies on the construction sector. This Special Issue explores novel developments related to Construction 4.0, such as building information modeling (BIM), digital twins, augmented and virtual reality applications and artificial intelligence for optimized design, and construction and infrastructure operations management. It also delves into the role of IoT devices in enhancing site safety, monitoring construction progress in real time, and improving infrastructure lifecycle management.
This Special Issue also explores digital technologies’ inter-relationships with an organization, enhancing construction field operations and supporting back-office processes.
We invite contributors to submit papers outlining innovative ideas and scientific findings related to the digital construction industry and its applications to provide a comprehensive overview of the current research, case studies, and creative solutions shaping the construction industry's future, offering insights and directions for academia, industry practitioners, and policymakers engaged in the digital transformation of construction.
