BUILD-CYCLE - Integrated Environments for Advanced Spatial Construction Planning and Control ABSTRACT Civil Engineering This project offers a novel integrated 3D planning and control environment for construction projects. While recent Building Information Modeling (BIM) and construction automation techniques have potential to significantly improve construction management, the benefits are yet to be realized for construction planning and controls. This proposed project will describe an integrated 3D platform for analysis and visualization of construction process data and energy use. Building on the geometry-based process modeling and simulation approach (GPM), it will describe a group of techniques to automate planning-control cycle for detailed operations for improved construction production management. Construction crew and equipment actions will be optimized using machine learning techniques on the simulation model. Sensor data will be integrated in the same environment for automated data collection to perform data fusion, measure energy performance, and improve progress feedback. Through collaborations with experts at leading universities at USA and European Research Area, this project is expected to make a large impact on computational modeling of construction systems. Moreover, it will contribute to the European excellence for the goals of virtual factory and energy efficient building. Yrd. Doç.
