Construction sites are typically characterized by inherent complexity, unstructured environments, dynamic changes, and susceptibility to environmental factors. Previous efforts to visualize events and processes at construction sites have been hampered by the absence of appropriate digital site representations. While virtual reality has received a lot of attention for visualizing construction sites, the integration of real-time information has rarely been explored. This study aims to integrate the cloud and edge computing paradigms to generate real-time map overlays of sites. The map overlays are updated by data collected from sensors mounted on machines operating on the construction site. Different overlays deployed to improve sustainability, safety, and efficiency are implemented and validated at the Volvo Construction Equipment GmbH test facility in Konz, Germany. The results show that the cloud and edge computing paradigms and the map overlays provide a solid foundation for real-time visualization and digitalization of construction sites.
