Modern Digital Technologies and the Possibility of Their Application in the Process of Construction Industry Digital Transformation

Abstract

The purpose of the article: based on a theoretical analysis of existing digital technologies, such as: big data, artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks, human-machine interface, virtual reality, the Internet of things, robotization, etc., to show the direction of their application in the digital transformation of the construction industry, which determines the practical significance of the study. An analysis of the historical and technological aspects of the formation of the digital economy made it possible to clarify the concept of digitalization of an object or process. The core of the digital transformation of the construction industry is information modeling technologies, or BIM technologies (Building Information Model). The analysis of scientific publications on BIM technology, carried out by the authors of the article, made it possible to establish that to date a single definition of the concept of "BIM" has not been formed. Despite this, in the process of the emerging digital transformation of the construction industry, the following technological solutions are currently used: BIM, digital city modeling (City Information Model, CIM), lean construction (Lean Construction, LC), etc. More intensive implementation of these solutions can serve improving the process of digital transformation of the construction industry, which will lead to the creation of an industry digital ecosystem. In the process of its functioning, digital interaction of all participants in investment and construction projects will be carried out in the conditions of a cloud information and design environment.
