The Impact of Control Engineering and Artificial Intelligence in the Development of the Field of Civil Engineering

Abstract

In the recent decades, optimization, automation of processes and designs have become the focus of any field's development. With the limitation of natural resources and increasing demand for more services, it is essential to reduce any kind of wastes involved in any of the processes. Furthermore, the advancement of technologies has simplified or decreased the workload of humans and pave a road to utilize the human resources in another way where time consuming, rigorous or complex things could be done with the assistance of technologies more accurately and with improved performance as well as reduced time. This chapter highlights the way control engineering along with AI could be applied in the development of civil engineering projects. Moreover, it talks about the gaps in the recent research and how control engineering with AI can shape the future of civil engineering field.
