Title of the Special Issue: Geomatic Techniques and Methodologies for Construction Monitoring and Control and System Development

Aim:
Geomatic techniques and methodologies are increasingly being used for construction monitoring and control, as well as for the development of construction management systems. Geomatics techniques can be used: to monitor progress, detect errors, and plan construction activities (laser scanning); to store and analyze data such as land use, zoning, and environmental data, or to manage and visualize construction data, monitor progress, and ensure compliance with regulations (GIS); to track equipment and personnel on the construction site. This information can be used to monitor progress, ensure safety, and optimize the use of resources (GNSS); to visualize and manage the construction process, coordinate between different stakeholders, and optimize construction activities (BIM); to monitor construction progress, detect changes to the site, and identify potential hazards (Remote Sensing). In summary, geomatic techniques and methodologies are critical for construction monitoring and control. By using these techniques, construction managers can optimize the construction process, improve safety, and ensure compliance with regulations. Furthermore, the development of construction management systems can be greatly enhanced by incorporating geomatic technologies to create accurate and reliable data. This Special Issue aims to collect original research articles and reviews on innovative research dedicated to methodologies, applications and case studies

Topics:

• The role of geomatics in construction management: This topic could explore the different geomatic techniques and methodologies used in construction, and how they can be used to optimize the construction process, improve safety, and ensure compliance with regulations.
• Laser scanning for construction monitoring and control: This topic could focus on the use of laser scanning technology to create highly accurate 3D models of construction sites, and how these models can be used to monitor progress, detect errors, and plan construction activities.
• The use of photogrammetry (UAV) in construction management: This topic could examine the use of photogrammetry to create 3D models of construction sites, and how these models can be used to monitor progress, detect errors, and plan construction activities.
• The role of GIS/WebGIS/App in construction management: This topic could explore how GIS can be used to store and analyze construction data, monitor progress, and ensure compliance with regulations.
• Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for construction monitoring and control: This topic could focus on the use of GNSS to track equipment and personnel on the construction site, and how this information can be used to monitor progress, ensure safety, and optimize the use of resources.
• Building Information Modeling (BIM) for construction management: This topic could examine how BIM can be used to visualize and manage the construction process, coordinate between different stakeholders, and optimize construction activities.
• The use of remote sensing in construction management: This topic could explore how remote sensing technologies, such as aerial photography (UAV) or satellite imagery, can be used to monitor construction progress, detect changes to the site, and identify potential hazards.
• Development of construction management systems using geomatic technologies: This topic could examine how geomatic technologies can be incorporated into construction management systems to create accurate and reliable data, optimize construction activities, and improve safety.
