Recently, research on digital twins to generate digital information and manage construction in real-time using advanced technology is being conducted actively. However, in the construction industry, it is difficult to optimize and apply digital technology in real-time due to the nature of the construction industry in which information is constantly fluctuating. In addition, inaccurate information on the topography of construction projects is a major challenge for earthmoving processes. In order to ultimately improve the cost-effectiveness of construction projects, both construction quality and productivity should be addressed through efficient construction information management in large-scale earthworks projects. Therefore, in this study, a 3D digital map-based AR site management work support system for higher efficiency and accuracy of site management was proposed by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in wide earthworks construction sites to generate point cloud data, building a 3D digital map through acquisition and analysis of on-site sensor-based information, and performing the visualization with AR at the site By utilizing the 3D digital map-based AR site management work support system proposed in this study, information is able to be provided quickly to field managers to enable an intuitive understanding of field conditions and immediate work processing, thereby reducing field management sluggishness and limitations of traditional information exchange systems. It is expected to contribute to the improvement of productivity by overcoming factors that decrease productivity in the construction industry and the improvement of work efficiency at construction sites.

As the construction site becomes larger, more complex and more special, the information of construction is expanded in quantity and specialized in quality. Therefore the computing system is necessary to effectively manage the construction schedule management. At present, main office at construction site bring in the computing system to perform the schedule management, so the data input and access for schedule management is performed by engineer on foot between construction site and main office. Therefore in this paper, we arrange wireless communication system between construction site and main of office and develop application program for data input and access of schedule management immediately using PDA at construction site. Through the our system we can improve the schedule management at construction site, and we can look forward to reduction of manpower, equipments, time, and money in whole construction.

Construction industry has a relatively higher industrial accident rate than other domestic industries. Thus, to reduce the accident rate, researches on the methodology of worker's safety education combined with new technologies like IT technology have increased. In the light of workers' safety information provision, this study develops a VR(Virtual Reality)-based construction site using the BIM(Building Information Modeling) data. The target structures and geographical features are included in the VR-based construction site where the construction machinery model and worker model are also created using a game engine. For highly effective provision of safety information, video clips with suitable captions corresponding to working processes were made with proper screen directing. They should be appropriately connected to correct worker's operations to improve the work commitment level, sense of reality and inducement of interest. From this scenario, the 3D VR-based construction site, which can be experienced through a VR equipment, was created and in the same platform, the safety information was provided by the video clip combined with the suitable captions. Although the real construction site involves various requirements depending on field situation and the expertness and experience of workers are not consistent, the developed safety information provision based on the VR construction site is expected to effectively reduce the incomplete factors leading to construction accidents by improving the worker's perception of workplace safety.

Construction industry has the form of industry progressed through mutual cooperation among participants in various fields. Accordingly, it may be referred to as an aggregate of information where various pieces of information are generated and managed according to each construction phase. Most of the information on the construction project is issued in the form of a document. And document management of the site is critical to successful execution of the project. Therefore, in the construction site to use IT technology for efficient information management. But, most of the information on the construction site is managed by the non-structured document. and Information management in the construction site is difficult to lack of information management systems. In this study, proposed construction information database structure and breakdown structure to the information management of the construction site through the BIM technology. Therefore, previous studies were reviewed about the document management and information link management. and Space breakdown structure and information breakdown structure was proposed to structure the information of the construction site and Database for information storage is designed. And, BIM-based construction information database was examined through the application scenario.

The ordering organizations of civil engineering project manage the construction site indirectly because the construction site is mostly located at a remote location and the public official also manages many sites. Since the civil engineering project has a wide working area, it is not easy to know the status of the whole project quickly by the indirect management method by report of the field practitioner. In order to solve these problems, the field management system between the ordering organization and the field office is changing from offline to online. This study suggests an advanced construction site management system that obtains site-related 3D information with the use of UAV and shares the information between the construction site in remote locations and their supervising authorities. To develop an UAV application system, the problems of field management in many actual sites were analyzed and derived necessary functions such as status reporting and online information management. The developed system was applied to actual field to verify its usability and compared the efficiency improvement with existing field management method.

Recently, many disasters have occurred due to poor management of construction site. In addition, as legal regulations on safety management at construction sites are strengthened, its importance is being further emphasized. In relation to smart safety management technology, a study was introduced to build an analysis model through various safety-related data collected within construction companies. This model derives quantitative disaster risk about the site level through information related to past disasters and near misses. However, construction work is performed separately by work group of each partner company. There is a limitation in that individual workers cannot directly experience this analysis information. In this study, we propose a method to derive the safety disaster risk of individual work units from disaster risk of the site level. We expect that this study to be helpful for smart safety management technology of construction sites.

Construction in the UK is the second most dangerous industry in terms of fatal and minor injuries according to the 2014 report of HSE. The use of mobile devices such as iPad, Tablets and Smart phones on the live construction projects is also on the increase in the UK due to the 2016 - Level 2 BIM (Building Information Modelling) implementation target, set by the UK Government. Hence, the use of such devices may become a distraction from work activities on the construction sites and will cause a major risk to the end users. The subject of improving safety of BIM use is widely researched, but there is a gap in knowledge about the actual use of the mobile devices and perception of 'Site BIM', on the construction site activities. The main gap identified in the 'Site BIM' is the health and safety aspect of using such devices on the construction sites. A safer way of working with such devices needs to be identified to avoid any potential site hazards and fatalities before the widespread use of the devices are found on the construction projects. In that context, the paper is aimed to highlight the safety issues that are required to address for the successful implementation of the mobile devices for safer use of the 'Site BIM'. Questionnaire survey was used to collect the site information among construction professionals in the UK. The survey findings suggested that a proactive approach may be helpful to stop potential hazards and risks causing by the use of mobile devices and potential measures need to be identified before any injuries and incidents occur. The paper concludes that training, changing size of mobile devices and ensuring a separate induction training for 'Site BIM' tools will improve the health and safety of the end users of the mobile devices at the live construction sites.
