Real-Time Simulation for Look-Ahead Scheduling of Heavy Construction Projects
Heavy construction work is a highly equipment-intensive process, and contractors work under a unique set of conditions that are characterized by various resource constraints and uncertainty. Accurate and timely look-ahead scheduling based on the most recent project data can greatly improve project execution and control. This paper describes a framework of look-ahead scheduling using real-time data collection and simulation techniques. In this framework, real-time dynamic data of an actual construction operation are collected and used to update a process-simulation model for look-ahead scheduling. Compared with the traditional scheduling methods that are static and time-consuming to maintain and update, the capability of real-time simulation to dynamically incorporate new project data and changes in the work environment offers the promise of improving the accuracy of look-ahead scheduling while reducing modeling burdens on end users. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed framework, a prototype system was developed for asphalt hauling and paving projects.
