Overview

This book highlights the latest technologies and applications of intelligent construction in the domain of tunneling works. Rapid urbanization has surged the rapid development of underground infrastructures in major metropolitans around the world over the past decades. The development of urban tunnel systems is a challenging task with high complexity in terms of design, construction, and maintenance. Recent advancements in information and communication technologies (ICTs) have driven vast transformations around the world with successful implementations in many domains of science. Under the concept of “industry 4.0”, there are many attempts at intelligent construction using the latest ICTs, where the major applications in urban system development mainly focus on building information modelling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT), deep learning, and computer vision. A tremendous transformation has taken place in the past years with the emerging intelligent construction applications in urban tunnel development. This enables industrial participants to operate projects more efficiently and safely, not only increasing the automation and productivity in tunnel development but also enhancing construction competitiveness globally.
