A Thematic Review of Main Researches on Construction Equipment Over the Recent Years

In the current study, through a systematic review of the academic literature that has been published over the last decade primarily identified via online databases, main research themes such as optimization, maintenance/downtime, productivity, robotics and automation, operator's competence, innovation, environment are determined and discussed and future research directions are proffered. The outcome of this paper will facilitate future researchers to develop a body of knowledge of progress on construction equipment and its potential functions and provide future research directions on this issue.
