National and International road networks are made of structures and infrastructures that often exhibit poor performance due to a lack of maintenance. In this context, Italy recently renewed the legislation regarding existing infrastructure analysis to support knowledge and facilitate a homogeneous data acquisition process. Thus a key component of the process consists of the visual inspection protocols complemented by physical and mechanical measures. This applies to all the structures built for the road network operation, including those classified as geotechnical whose deterioration is often neglected or appropriately surveyed. Along with the definition of a data form for collecting datasets on these aspects, a relevant aspect of the process is the implementation of a collaborative environment for the information management and analysis systems supporting the interested parties in the field. The paper reports the design of a base geotechnical inspection form for Retaining Wall and illustrates some aspects of its implementation in a digital environment. Mixed Reality techniques in combination with web‐based tools for data collection are investigated to increase the feasibility and reliability of the visual inspection of existing road networks.

“…The first category corresponds to the construction applications, which contained the highest number of papers compared to other categories. Lastly, Assila et al (2022) categorized AR/MR applications in project phases. Their findings show that AR/MR applications are more developed in the construction and operation stages, which can be attributed to the benefits of AR/MR for real-time construction review (Assila et al, 2022); for example, identifying deviations from the 3D model.…”

Despite advances in 3D clash detection during preconstruction, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) installations are still prone to the detection of unforeseen clashes during construction. These issues must be resolved as quickly as possible to prevent significant schedule delays. Through interviews and field observations, this case study investigates the impact of mixed reality (MR) on the inspection and resolution of field-detected MEP issues from product, organization, and process (POP) perspectives. For the product impact, preliminary findings from the field interviews show that MR-based inspection would increase the quality of MEP installation by identifying errors easily and resolving them faster. For the organizational impact, we modeled and compared the current (as-is) and MR-integrated (to-be) MEP field issue resolution workflows using Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and determined that MR-based inspections can decrease the coordination overhead between MEP engineers and superintendents by up to 75%. This translates into at least a 50% faster resolution of an MEP issue for the process impact. The paper contributes to the practice of MR-based field inspection by providing a method to quantify potential time savings by integrating MR into the MEP field issue resolution workflow and field interview questions for MEP engineers and superintendents to further examine the use of MR during inspection activities in construction projects. Our observations of MEP superintendents and engineers during field inspection showed that not all building information visualized in MR is useful for their inspection tasks. We developed a classification for building information usefulness to help construction project managers who are deploying MR determine useful information for the task at hand that needs to be integrated into the 3D MR model for MR-based inspections.

“…These technologies allow for visualization of BIM 3D model data in both full and partial virtual environments, and they offer users the ability to fully immerse themselves in artificial environments using devices like head-mounted displays [16], [17], [18]. AR enhances the perception of the real world by overlaying digital information on top of it [19], [20], while VR is a digital simulation VOLUME 4, 2016 that allows for interaction with 3D elements [21], [22], [23]. Using these technologies in high-performance building design strategies is considered a cutting-edge approach in the construction field.…”

“…Similarly, Getuli et al [5] have indicated that virtual reality is a useful construction worksite planning system that can improve safety conditions by visualizing the site's health and safety plans on the BIM platform. In a more recent work, Assila et al [23] have conducted a systematic literature review on the integration of augmented, virtual, and mixed realities with BIM. The review's primary focus was on the project lifecycle stages where these three immersive technologies are being implemented with BIM, as well as the approaches used to ensure this integration.…”

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry has seen significant development, particularly with the increased adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Despite this progress, the interaction between digital and physical environments remains limited due to the visual limitations provided by the built environment. Although integrating BIM with immersive technologies, such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), is thought to be an effective solution, not all companies are able to successfully implement these integrated technologies. Therefore, it is essential to learn lessons from maturity evaluation. However, a systematic literature review (SLR) of previous works on maturity evaluation of BIM, AR/VR, and BIM-based AR/VR is lacking. The goal of this research is to provide an SLR of these studies to gain a clearer understanding of the field. From an initial cohort of 942 studies, 27 primary studies were retained based on four search engines. The SLR addresses specific research questions related to demographic information, maturity evaluation background, maturity evaluation tools and approaches, their benefits and limitations, and new perspectives. The main findings reveal that the maturity evaluation of BIM-based AR/VR is still in its early stages. The review also suggests a critical analysis of existing maturity evaluation tools, enabling the interpretation of results in an objective manner. Future research should focus on developing a standardized solution that incorporates best practices and rules that meet the needs of practitioners and researchers.
