Abstract

This study aims to determine the current adoption of disruptive technologies in road infrastructure’s operation and maintenance stage as well as discover the factors influencing the adoption of disruptive technologies. Systematic Literature Review method is adopted in this study. SLR seeks to summarize the recent state-of-the-art of articles related to adoption of disruptive technologies in road infrastructure’s operation and maintenance stage. A PRISMA checklist is reviewed and the PRISMA flowchart is proposed for the research methodology of this study. Study found that from 56 final retained articles, 33 articles (59 %) are from Scopus database. Only 11 articles (19.6%) and 12 articles (21.4%) are obtained from Web of Science and Taylor and Francis databases respectively. Basically, there are 2 types of study covered for the final articles, which are theoretical study and empirical study. Results showed that numbers of empirical study are prominent, which is 40 articles in total (71.4%). While there is only 16 theoretical study included in this study. Future studies could examine the specific challenges that need to be addressed and identify potential solutions. This could involve exploring new business models, developing policies and regulations that promote the adoption of these technologies, and addressing issues related to cost and infrastructure.
