Technology Landscape for BIM in Construction Site Safety Management
The development of Industry 4.0 has caused the global construction sector to move towards digitization. However, site safety is still one of the ignored aspects in terms of digitizing construction practices. The usage of technology-assisted solutions to support current practices is expanding. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a noteworthy invention in the construction industry. Based on an intelligent model, BIM combines structured, cross-disciplinary data to provide a digital representation of an asset that lasts the duration of its life. With BIM's potential advantages, safety procedures can be enhanced, and superior safety solutions can be offered. To do so, assessing the prior research and current trends in BIM based site safety management is crucial. The paper aims to provide a technology landscape for BIM in construction site safety through a detailed patentometric analysis using leading database Espacenet. The patent data from the year 2016–2023 is considered for analysis. The selected data is analyzed for country-wise, year-wise patents and it also discusses the IPC, CPC codes for the patents in the arena of BIM for construction safety. Currently, China is leading the forefront of patenting BIM based construction safety solutions. The landscaping has unfolded the fact that BIM based site safety management is an emerging domain. The thorough patentometric analysis presented in this paper summarizes cutting edge innovations. It highlights the prior art as well as provides a pathway for strategic patenting with improved chances of publication and granting of patent thereof.
