Intelligent construction for the transportation infrastructure: a review

Abstract

Abstract Transportation infrastructure (TI) is a vital link for and critical component of societal and economic development. A new area, called intelligent construction for transportation infrastructure (IC/TI), is emerging with the integration of traditional TI construction and new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), big data, virtual reality (VR), remote sensing, building information modeling (BIM), digital twins (DTs), and the internet of things (IoT). This paper reviews the research in the area of IC/TI published since 2017. A total of 191 journal articles in the area of IC/TI were obtained from the Web of Science database and reviewed, including 23 review articles and 168 research articles. This paper aims to provide an up-to-date literature review of IC/TI to further facilitate research and applications in this domain. Based on the results of this review, current research trends, applications, technologies, research gaps, and future needs are discussed.
