Summary : There is a need for more recent studies that address the evolving IoT technologies and their specific
application to concrete road construction. Also, a comprehensive review of the materials used and research
methodologies reveals a lack of consistency, highlighting the necessity for standardized approaches in this field. Further
investigation into the long-term sustainability and scalability of IoT solutions in road construction is also warranted to
4 bridge these research gaps effectively.
