“…Successful deployment can use live knowledge database for better decision-making, stringent quality control, integrated facility management solution and optimized safety management. There are many supporting technologies of CPS that have been adapted from other industries or specifically developed for the construction industry; some of them are CAD, audio and video communications, GIS, BIM, portable devices, image-capture technologies (photogrammetry and laser scanning), sensors, global positioning system (GPS), IoT, immersive technologies (Okpala et al , 2020), Drones, 3D printing, exoskeletons, robotics, augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain (Linares et al , 2019). Knowledge-based data integration with CPS can provide user requirements, functional specifications and the associative knowledge requirements about projects that augment human decision-making in construction.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate building information modelling (BIM) integrated Internet of Things (IoT) architectures extensively and provide comparative evaluation of those against deciding parameters pertaining to their characteristics and subsequent applications in construction industry. Design/methodology/approach This paper identifies BIM-integrated cyber physical system frameworks, specific to project objectives, comprising of sensors working as physical assets and BIM-based virtual models acting as the cyber component , connected via wired or wireless protocols (e.g. WiFi, Zigbee, near-field communication, mobile-to-mobile, Zwave, 3 G, 4 G, long-term evolution, 5 G and low-power wide-area networks) and their potential applications in decision-making, visual management, logistics and supply chain management, smart building system management and structural performance assessment, etc. Such proposed architectures are evaluated against deciding parameters such as availability, reliability, mobility, performance, management, scalability, interoperability and security and privacy to evaluate their respective efficiencies. Findings This study finds that the underlying aim of planned IoT frameworks is to integrate systems and processes for a better information flow and to initiate shift from silo solutions to a smart ecosystem. The efficiencies of such frameworks are completely subjective to their respective project natures, objectives and requirements. Originality/value This study is unique in its nature to identify requirements of an efficient BIM-integrated IoT architecture and provide comprehensive insights about potential applications in construction industry.

“…In the meantime, using BIM as the core in the CPS can adapt BIM capabilities to improve construction lifecycle management. Daniel A. Linares et al [ 40 ] reviewed the current state of the technologies that support CPS in the construction industry. Further development of novel sensors is still needed to collect different types of data from the construction process.…”

Cyber–physical systems (CPSs) are generally considered to be the next generation of engineered systems. However, the actual application of CPSs in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is still at a low level. The sensing method in the construction process plays a very important role in the establishment of CPSs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to discuss the application potential of computer vision-based sensing methods and provide practical suggestions through a literature review. This paper provides a review of the current application of CPSs in the AEC industry, summarizes the current knowledge gaps, and discusses the problems with the current construction site sensing approach. Considering the unique advantages of the computer vision (CV) method at the construction site, the application of CV for different construction entities was reviewed and summarized to achieve a CV-based construction site sensing approach for construction process CPSs. The potential of CPS can be further stimulated by providing rich information from on-site sensing using CV methods. According to the review, this approach has unique advantages in the specific environment of the construction site. Based on the current knowledge gap identified in the literature review, this paper proposes a novel concept of visual-based construction site sensing method for CPS application, and an architecture for CV-based CPS is proposed as an implementation of this concept. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a CPS architecture using computer vision as the main information acquisition method based on the literature review. This architecture innovatively introduces computer vision as a sensing method of construction sites, and realizes low-cost and non-invasive information acquisition in complex construction scenarios. This method can be used as an important supplement to on-site sensing to further promote the automation and intelligence of the construction process.

“…Also, the status, interests, and knowledge of the user evolve as they navigate and engage in social interactions in cyberspace. Over the years, several technologies have been used to support CPSS and enable bidirectional interaction between physical and cyber components such as Web 2.0 services, Video/Audio, Portable and Wearable Devices, Internet of Things, Sensors, Drones, GPS, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Robots, VR/AR and others [46]. Especially the combination of VR and Robotics has been trending in the scientific, industrial, entertainment, and enterprise communities recently, with investigations focusing on bringing together multimodal robotic sensing and computations with human-computer interfaces offering immersion and interaction in artificially created and simulated environments.…”

A Prototype that Fuses Virtual Reality, Robots, and Social Networks to Create a New Cyber–Physical–Social Eco-Society System for Cultural Heritage

With the rapid development of technology and the increasing use of social networks, many opportunities for the design and deployment of interconnected systems arise that could enable a paradigm shift in the ways we interact with cultural heritage. The project described in this paper aims to create a new type of conceptually led environment, a kind of Cyber–Physical–Social Eco-Society (CPSeS) system that would seamlessly blend the real with virtual worlds interactively using Virtual Reality, Robots, and Social Networking technologies, engendered by humans’ interactions and intentions. The project seeks to develop new methods of engaging the current generation of museum visitors, who are influenced by their exposure to modern technology such as social media, smart phones, Internet of Things, smart devices, and visual games, by providing a unique experience of exploring and interacting with real and virtual worlds simultaneously. The research envisions a system that connects visitors to events and/or objects separated either in time or in space, or both, providing social meeting points between them. To demonstrate the attributes of the proposed system, a Virtual Museum scenario has been chosen. The following pages will describe the RoboSHU: Virtual Museum prototype, its capabilities and features, and present a generic development framework that will also be applicable to other contexts and sociospatial domains.
