In contrast, Off-Site Construction (OSC) is a modern method of construction that has demonstrated significant improvements over conventional on-site methods. Despite that, OSC represents a tiny portion of the construction industry with a limited rate of diffusion and acceptance. One reason for that is associated with the lack or immaturity of OSC-related research and innovation benchmarking. This benchmarking helps in expanding OSC implementation as a component in driving and directing OSC research as well as roadmapping and measuring the innovation advancements. Hence, this study was intended to contribute to the OSC benchmarking by mapping innovation that paves the road towards building a strategic research and innovation roadmap in OSC. Among different innovation types, this study is limited to two types: technology-oriented and OSC method-oriented innovation. Unlike the traditional roadmaps in the literature, the...

CSR Maturity Model for Smart City Assessment

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2020

This research seeks to identify the key smartness dimensions of a city, build a corresponding novel smartness concept, and develop a full assessment model. The contribution of this research includes identifying three key dimensions for SCs: Connectivity (C), Sustainability (S), and Resiliency (R); and developing a corresponding SC maturity-based assessment model (MM) referred to as CSR-MM. The model applicability is validated through examining its conformance to the MM design principles and practically demonstrated via a case study (Fredericton Public Transit, NB) with an outcome comparison against an international SC assessment tool (ISO37120:2018). The research significance is by providing CSR-MM that is intended to help municipalities to identify maturity gaps, set prioritized goals, and focus o...
