Construction Site Path Planning Optimization through BIM
Equipment travel path planning is one of the significant components of construction site layout design. Navigating a terrain and determining the shortest path on a construction site is one fundamental concern in path planning. The major constraints used for our path planning process is the shortest path between desired cycle locations and obstacle avoidance. By implementing building information modeling (BIM) as a project communication platform, automated equipment path planning within a dynamic construction environment becomes possible. This created BIM-based path planning strategy also enables construction managers to plan and schedule equipment operations with other project stakeholders. The objective of this research is to design a BIM-based strategy and automated path planning method to calculate and display an efficient equipment travel path in a BIM environment. The research framework is tested with active construction sites data. The feedbacks from workforce and management is assessed and integrated into the research approach.
