Problems of digital technologies implementation in road construction companies

Abstract

Implementation of technologies are needed to stay competitive. Innovation is influenced by digital technologies. The road construction industry continues to meet the need to increase productivity and reduce the road construction costs. Repairs of existing roads and the construction of new roads need to be faster and of better quality. To achieve this, it is necessary to expand the use of innovative technologies. Digitalization is the solution that can transform to road construction industry by improving productivity, quality, and control measures. This paper analyzes the availability of digital technologies and their potential impact on improving productivity over the lifecycle of construction. The benefits and barriers to implement digital technology in road construction companies are also analyzed. It reviews the progress of digital technology, analyzes its impact on productivity in road construction companies around the world. The study shows that that customers and contractors are willing to invest in digital technologies to increase or accelerate the uptake and better understand the benefits that digital technologies can increase productivity, growth in construction and long-term success. Methodology: analysis of scientific literature, survey of experts. The aim of this article is to evaluate the problems of digital technology implementation in road construction companies.
