Abstract
In recent years, the advancement of digital technologies such as building information modeling (BIM), internet of things (IoT), and geographic information system (GIS) has had many impacts on the construction industry. However, limited research has been conducted on the integration of BIM, IoT, and GIS technologies, especially in construction resource monitoring. Therefore, this paper presents a state-of-the-art review of BIM, IoT, and GIS integration by focusing on their applications, challenges, research gaps, and future research directions. A systematic literature review and science mapping analysis were adopted in this study. The results identified the gaps in BIM, IoT, and GIS integration in construction resource monitoring, which include interoperability, data security, real-time dynamic monitoring, complex environmental data processing, environmental sustainability studies, prediction models, and convenience for the users. Moreover, challenges and future research directions were proposed. This paper contributes to extending the integrated applications of digital technologies in construction resource monitoring.
