“…However, due to the usually complex conditions of construction sites, it is difficult for personnel to pave and roll the pavement in strict accordance with the technical requirements. On-site supervision and management personnel may also neglect irregular construction, resulting in inferior pavement quality ( Makarov et al, 2021b ). Therefore, with recent advances of technology, there is a general trend to apply digital technologies for monitoring and control purposes ( Liu et al, 2016 , 2020 ).…”

To increase the speed and efficiency of expressways construction, information management is being gradually introduced into the construction process. However, progress is limited due to the complexity of expressway engineering and application limitations of information technology. Design and delivery are still dominated by paper files, and the management of test and inspection data is still relatively extensive. Research to date into digital expressway construction has been piecemeal and fragmented with a lack of research related to the whole construction process and a data-centric information management system yet to be realized. In response, through literature research and semi-structured interviews, the framework of a data-driven digital whole-process highway construction management platform was determined. A whole process management platform was established according to the framework, and the functional application of the proposed platform was explained through a case. The framework is proposed from the perspective of the whole process of collaborative sharing., which provides a new way of thinking to solve the problems existing in the current field of expressway construction whole-process management. It also provides data-centric management, electronic design and delivery, a refined workflow, and an efficient management process.

“…In the last alternative, which is called guidance compaction OSS, the priority map is further analyzed and processed to recommend a compaction trajectory to the operators, as shown in Figure 4(b). The details of these three alternatives are presented in detail in the previous work of the authors and therefore not repeated here for brevity (Makarov et al 2021).…”

“…The questionnaire presented in Table 1 was used for the assessment. The details of how different OSSs were perceived by the operators are provided in the previous work of the author (Makarov et al 2021) and because it is out of the scope of the present research, it is excluded from this paper. Instead, this paper focuses more on the evaluation of the suitability of the VP platform for the assessment of equipment OSSs.…”

“…To this end, a case study of compaction OSS is used to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed framework. It should be highlighted that the present work is based on the generalization of the previous work of the authors which reported on the specific design issue with respect to compaction OSSs (Makarov et al 2021). In this research, the result of the same case study is used but from the lens of assessing the feasibility and usefulness of using VP in the design of construction OSSs.…”

Improper design of construction equipment operator support systems can lead to the erosion of operators’ trust and ultimately failedadoption. Becausekeeping the end users in the development process is time-consuming and costly, this is seldom done. To address this issue, a new virtual reality-based framework is proposed in this study. In this framework, designers of the operator guidance system utilize a Virtual Prototyping (VP) platform of the guidance system to receive feedback from the end-users. VP platform allows end-users to have an immersive experience with the front-end system and provide feedback without requiring the designers to make a substantial investment in the design of the back-end structure. This framework is applied to a case of a compaction guidance system. It is demonstrated that VR simulators are able to serve as a technology assessment platform that allows end-users to open transparent and substantive dialogues about the system with the designers.

“…VR technology has the advantages of high immersion, high efficiency, low cost, and low risk, making it more suitable for educational purposes (Lu et al, 2022; Sampaio & Martins, 2014). Therefore, virtual reality (VR) has great potential to be an effective alternative to traditional training methods in the construction field (Li et al, 2018; Makarov et al, 2021). Meyer (2003) reviewed existing applications of VR for safety training and showed that this technology could significantly improve personnel's knowledge about safety.…”

Background StudyVirtual reality (VR) is becoming a popular technology for safety training in construction. Several VR training prototypes have been designed and tested, which show they can perform better than traditional training tools. However, most of these existing tools are not underpinned by clear pedagogical theory, and studies assessing the impact of pedagogical theories on the effectiveness of VR prototypes are still rare in the literature.ObjectivesThis study aims to investigate if and how the productive failure theory and the directive instruction theory have an impact on the effectiveness of VR safety training for confined space workers.MethodsThe study used a randomized controlled method involving 74 participants. The effectiveness of these two training methods was assessed in terms of knowledge acquisition and retention.Results and ConclusionsThe results illustrate that the productive failure training design performed better in terms of knowledge acquisition and retention. This paper introduces the Productive Failure Theory and shows the great potential of this approach for self‐service VR safety training in the field of construction.
