Abstract: Accurate analyses of equipment idle time are crucial for the efficient utilization of construction equipment in large construction projects. The less idle time the equipment has, the higher productivity it can achieve. ...

Abstract: This study proposes a vision-based method for flood depth estimation using flooded-vehicle images with a ground-level view. The proposed method is comprised of three main processes: segmentation of vehicle objects, ...

Abstract: Building defects are critical because they compromise safety, raise costs, and cause delays in construction projects, ultimately affecting the quality and structural integrity of buildings. However, traditional methods for ...

Abstract: The effective management of construction materials is critical to the successful execution of large-scale infrastructure projects. A cable-stayed bridge construction, for which diverse and complex structural components ...

Abstract: Image processing is an effective tool for automated monitoring of construction projects. For the last decade, it has gained increasing acceptance in its application to progress monitoring, productivity analyses, and quality ...

Abstract: To ensure an efficient and safe construction operation, efforts have been made to develop a planning tool that focuses on equipment utilization. With the development of augmented reality (AR) technology came an opportunity ...

Abstract: Over the last two decades, more than 100 water and sewer systems have been sold or leased to private entities in the United States due to shortages in government funding. While privatization has allowed governments to ...

Abstract: With the growing trend in extreme weather events, establishing an optimal investment plan for infrastructure adaptation has attracted considerable research interest aimed at minimizing future damage in urban areas that ...

Abstract: Given the rapid rise in aging bridges, accurate and efficient inspection and maintenance have become increasingly critical. Point cloud data, rich in geometric details, plays a vital role in this process. Identifying ...
