“…This could be a result of advancements in network signal frequency from second-generation (2G) to fifth generation (5G) mobile networks. This has increased the use of portable personal computers (PPC), tablets, and phones onsite, which supports improved productivity and quality (Wu et al, 2018, Hasan et al, 2021, Mahdi and Afshar, 2022, Zhao et al, 2023.…”

In recent years, the construction industry has witnessed a surge in the adoption and application of emerging technologies. Substantial evidence indicates the impact of these technologies on the lifecycle of construction projects. Among the notable categories of technologies embraced in construction, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) stand out. This category encompasses BIM models, reality capture, cloud computing, robotics, and more. However, a literature investigation that specifically focuses on the significant influence of these technologies on construction sites is lacking. To address this gap, this study conducted a systematic literature review, supported by a bibliometric analysis of published articles in the field of construction management. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, data was sourced from Scopus and Web of Science, covering the period from 2009 to 2023. The findings shed light on nine prominent ICT tools widely adopted on construction sites for project execution, with contributions from 113 countries emphasizing their profound impacts. Despite these positive aspects, this study also identifies notable challenges and provides recommendations for mitigating them. A smart site data integration framework was developed to facilitate the seamless integration of these technologies while ensuring data security. This study provides fundamental insights for future research in this field aimed at informing the construction industry about the importance of embracing cutting-edge technologies for enhanced efficiency on construction jobsites and for timely project delivery.

Earthmoving operations in the construction process are complex environments that involve interactions between equipment, the workforce, and materials within an overarching construction plan. Over the past two decades, researchers in construction have focused on improving the safety of construction earthmoving equipment due to their omnipresence in the construction environment. Although previous studies have explored safety risks and the causes of accidents involving construction earthmoving equipment, their approaches were common and lacked a comprehensive perspective. Hence, this systematic literature review applies Rasmussen’s (1997) risk management framework using a systems thinking approach to identify and classify the risk factors influencing earthmoving equipment operation safety in construction sites. Utilizing a multistep methodology, this research first identifies 38 risk factors pertinent to earthmoving equipment operations and then classifies them based on systems thinking. Social network analysis (SNA) is employed to analyze the data. The results show that most research on earthmoving equipment safety focuses on monitoring construction sites, but very little on government and regulatory roles. When considering the interdependencies of risk factors, safety training is the most important factor, followed by the largely overlooked earthmoving machinery characteristics and manufacturer’s performance. The results of this review inform both the research community and industry practitioners regarding the less-understood aspects of earthmoving equipment operation safety and future research directions.
