“…These include the use of mobile robotic systems for autonomous navigation in indoor areas (Asadi and Han 2020). Drones are also considered to help in collecting more accurate and enhanced real-time data from construction sites (Charlesraj and Rakshith 2020). Similarly, recent studies prove the effectiveness of using virtual and augmented realities in construction engineering education and training while providing useful information for researchers on how to integrate such technologies in their programs (Wang et al 2018).…”

Methods to collect data in construction engineering and management (CEM) research are evolving, informed by recent technological advancements. One such method is research charrettes that allow effective interactions and knowledge sharing between expert industry practitioners and academic researchers, all colocated in a single venue, enabling rich data collection and live communication. A pivot point in technological evolution occurred with the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing a global shift to remote work. Hence, planned in-person research charrettes had to shift to remote sessions, relying on virtual conferencing platforms and online data collection mechanisms. Technology-enabled charrettes have allowed the authors to collect significantly richer data sets and ensure a more diverse representation of participants, while saving tremendous amounts of time. With the continuing emergence of technological applications, the world might not go back to functioning fully in person. The authors believe remote research charrettes (RRCs) will still be used in a post-COVID-19 world because of their superior performance. This paper builds on a previous publication that described traditional research charrettes as a method to enhance CEM research a decade ago; it offers a significantly updated and improved RRC method based on the knowledge gained from transitioning a dozen in-person charrettes into RRCs. It also presents performance comparisons between RRCs and traditional charrettes by quantifying metrics indicating how RRCs are more time-efficient and cost-saving, harness more participants from more diverse locations, and enable the collection of richer data sets and four times more industry comments and expert feedback. This paper also provides guidance on the integration of technology with traditional research charrettes, hence contributing to the CEM body of knowledge.

“…Uno de los mayores desafíos de la construcción es la entrega eficiente de los proyectos; ya que se realizan en entornos complejos y llenos de incertidumbre, por lo que es prudente promover soluciones innovadoras que coadyuven a superar los desafíos y a crear valor para los involucrados [2]. Es posible resolver muchos de estos problemas por medio de datos y evidencia obtenida de manera rápida, eficiente y segura, mediante el uso de drones.…”

El objetivo de este trabajo fue proporcionar una perspectiva de los alcances que tiene la fotogrametría aérea para realizar diferentes actividades en la Ingeniería de la construcción en general. Asimismo, determinar si un dron comercial es capaz de realizar tareas que faciliten labores en algunos procesos de gestión administrativa en Universidad de Sonora con fines de logística, planificación, mantenimiento y registros de avance de obra dentro del campus. Se realizaron comparativas entre mediciones físicas de campo de manera tradicional y mediciones digitales en el modelo de nube de puntos 3D generado en el software. De esta comparativa se obtuvo, un valor promedio de 3.7 milímetros de variación por metro lineal.

“…The integration of newer UAV models and corresponding architecture variances are responsible for the human-machine interactive failures leading to more human errors and associated accidental outcomes (Neff & Garman, 2020). The low flight dependability of UAVs limits their operability, especially they can be extremely vulnerable to adverse weather conditions such as strong air streams, potentially escalating the precariousness for the UAV pilots (Charlesraj & Rakshith, 2020). Typical UAVs lack the provision to be equipped with long-haul battery life due to limited onboard allocation intended for the weight reduction purpose.…”

“…Despite the predominant integration of UAVs in construction applications, it is evident that the majority of construction personnel, specifically workers are aware but still not adequately familiarized with the diversified characteristics of UAVs (Charlesraj & Rakshith, 2020).

The construction industry has experienced a significantly rapid integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), (known as drones) within multifarious construction applications due to their prevalent stature in accessibility, reliability, accuracy, and low-cost. Given the dynamic nature of the hazard-prone construction sites, the rapid proliferation of UAVs potentially incorporates additional operational complexities, hazards, and associated safety risks. These safety implications are emerging in the absence of construction-specific UAV-standard guidelines and strategies for effective risk mitigation. Despite the remarkable benefits, UAVs can expose workers to a wide range of unwarranted workplace hazards, especially when operating around densely populated construction sites. This study aims to (1) explore the current understanding of the UAV-associated safety risks and (2) identify the potential risks to which construction workers are exposed. Collisions with workers and properties have been found to be the key safety risks of UAV adoption. In this context, due to the scarcity of studies, there is a substantial lack of construction-based safety understanding relevant to UAV applications. It is expected that the industry professionals and practitioners can benefit from the presented information to effectively address the safety risks and develop appropriate control measures to ensure safe operation by preventing accidents.
