Abstract: This paper introduces a software, Stochastic Project Scheduling Simulation (

Abstract: This paper describes a stochastic simulation-based scheduling system (S3) that: (1) integrates the deterministic critical path method (CPM), the probabilistic program evaluation and review technique (PERT), and the stochastic ...

Abstract: The belief that the design–build (D/B) project delivery system does not lend itself to effective quality assurance and control is quite common in construction circles. Total quality consists of: (1) the corporate quality ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a system prototype, the construction business automation system, for modeling and automating construction business processes by using workflow and object technologies. Construction management tasks ...

Abstract: This paper presents a computational method called the dozer workability estimation (DoWe) system. It collects the internal system variables of a dozer machine and the external system environment variables, calculates the ...

Abstract: This paper presents an advanced stochastic optimal earthmoving haul-route searching method (SOHS) that hybridizes the genetic algorithm (GA) and simulation, hence minimizing the equipment travel time and fuel consumption. ...

Abstract: This paper presents an automated tool named the stochastic project financing analysis system (SPFA). The system makes use of critical path method (CPM) schedule data exported from Primavera Project Planner (P3), computes ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a contractor quality performance (CQP) evaluation model that measures the quality performance of pavement contractors. The model uses a modified quality function deployment model to support the quality ...

Abstract: To minimize damage to people due to pollutants generated from construction work, it is essential to manage environmental performance by maintaining pollutant emissions below regulation standard levels. Therefore, this study ...
