Bibliometric Review of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Construction Engineering and Management

摘要

The use of artificial intelligent (AI) has increased in the field of construction engineering and management in recent years, mostly due to the potential of the technology for improving construction performance and efficiency. In order to achieving a comprehensive understanding of the research work on this subject, this paper conducted a bibliometric analysis and review of existing literature on AI focusing on the last decade. The authors selected the articles based on different categories of AI technology and published journals with an impact factor higher than 1.0. The search resulted in 273 articles, which were then categorized in order to systematize the research conducted over the years. The authors analyzed the selected articles from the perspectives of time the article was published, journals, research fields in construction domain, high productive researchers, and major AI techniques. In addition, this review concluded the current trends of AI application in construction and further identified the next step of a detailed systematic analysis of the selected literature from the perspective of its research fields in construction domain to come up with more meaningful results that could bright the future usage of AI in construction related research.
