How can GIS, GPS, remote sensing and the internet be effectively used to monitoring construction of a road in real-time? Are there any research articles or reference materials in regard to this.
For sure. You can install video cameras and send the signal through the internet . So you can monitor the progress of construction. With high spatial resolution satellite imagery as GeoEye or PLEIADES -1A or QuickBird or KOMPSAT, you can monitor the quality of the progress of the work.

Hi Peter,
If you enter to EarthExplorer (http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov) you will be able to download high resolution satellite images from several satellites from the area and day that you want.
For a road construction, you could use for example the Landsat 8 images. This satellite captures an image of a particular area every 16 days, so you could do real monitoring every 16 days at an approximate resolution of 30 meters (FOR FREE). If you need a more detailed resolution you could also buy images of better resolution.
Best,
Marcelo
you can manually do it by viewing the remote sensing data. But if you want to do it in large scale and have everything done automatically, it will need additional work.
Hi Perter,
Yes, GIS could be a potential tool for that but you will need the precise and constantly data too.
I recommend you to read this article:
