“…Other 4D BIM studies have successfully reduced workspace conflicts, and those can be summarized according to their potential support for reducing transportation waste consequences, such transportation path obstruction (Wang et al, 2019); new transportation activities in the interior space of buildings (Mallasi, 2009); equipment trajectory conflicts (Akinci et al, 2002); material damage and inventory (Wang et al, 2014) and construction workspace congestion (Mallasi, 2006).…”

“…Confined by construction sites and schedules, the implementation of many construction tasks are simultaneous, and working and path space, mainly transportation space, are shared; therefore, transportation waste caused by transportation path obstructions are very likely to occur (Wang et al, 2019). Transportation waste can occur when the planning of transportation activities is not adequate or when it is planned by construction planners who are not aware of all of the details of everyone's work and transport space requirements (Wang et al, 2019). Therefore, the planning of transportation activities must occur just as the planning of other value-adding activities, when aiming to reduce the type of workspace inefficiencies that lead to conflicts, congestion and excess of transportation (P erez and Costa, 2018).…”

“…During the construction stage, a four-dimensional (4D) building information modeling (BIM), which represents the integration of three-dimensional (3D) BIM and time, can play a vital role in construction schedule planning and optimization (Zhang and Hu, 2011). It is possible to use 4D BIM, which includes production and process information, to detect potential workspace conflicts, such as path obstructions (Wang et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThis paper proposes to apply the lean philosophy principle of minimizing or eliminating non-value adding activities combined with 4D building information modeling (BIM) simulations to reduce transportation waste in construction production processes.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts design science research (DSR) because of its prescriptive character to produce innovative constructions (artifacts) to solve real-world problems. The artifact proposed is a set of constructs for evaluating the utility of 4D BIM simulations for transportation waste reduction. The authors performed two learning cycles using empirical studies in projects A, B and C. The construction process of cast-in-place (CIP) reinforcement concrete (RC) was selected to demonstrate and evaluate 4D BIM's utility. The empirical studies focused on understanding the current transportation waste, collecting actual performance data during job site visits and demonstrating the usage of 4D BIM.FindingsIn the first cycle, 4D BIM successfully allowed users to understand the CIP-RC process's transportation activities, which were modeled. In the second cycle, 4D BIM enabled better decision-making processes concerning the definitions of strategies for placing reusable formworks for CIP concrete walls by planning transportation activities.Practical implicationsIn Cycle 2, three different scenarios were simulated to identify the most suitable formwork assembly planning, and the results were compared to the real situations identified during the job site visits. The scenario chosen demonstrated that the 4D BIM simulation yielded an 18.75% cycle time reduction. In addition, the simulation contributed to a decrease in transportation waste that was previously identified.Originality/valueThe original contribution of this paper is the use of 4D BIM simulation for managing non-value adding activities to reduce transportation waste. The utility of 4D BIM for the reduction of those conflicts considered three constructs: (1) the capacity to improve transportation activity efficiency, (2) the capacity to improve construction production efficiency and (3) the capacity to reduce transportation waste consequences.

“…In this sense, researchers can put the first attempt to optimize the camera placement that maximizes the performance of construction object detection, which is a prerequisite step for operation-level vision-based monitoring. They can utilize a 4D jobsite simulation model, developed in many previous studies (Boton, 2018;Swallow and Zulu, 2019;Wang et al, 2019a;Choi et al, 2020), to place cameras and evaluate the monitoring performances (e.g., object detectability) in virtual spaces.…”

Operation-level vision-based monitoring and documentation has drawn significant attention from construction practitioners and researchers. To automate the operation-level monitoring of construction and built environments, there have been much effort to develop computer vision technologies. Despite their encouraging findings, it remains a major challenge to exploit technologies in real construction projects, implying that there are knowledge gaps in practice and theory. To fill such knowledge gaps, this study thoroughly reviews 119 papers on operation-level vision-based construction monitoring, published in mainstream construction informatics journals. Existing research papers can be categorized into three sequential technologies: (1) camera placement for operation-level construction monitoring, (2) single-camera-based construction monitoring and documentation, and (3) multi-camera-based onsite information integration and construction monitoring. For each technology, state-of-the-art algorithms, open challenges, and future directions are discussed.
