RISExploring the Influence of Emergency Broadcasts on Human Evacuation Behavior during Building Emergencies Using Virtual Reality Technology
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Emergency broadcasts are one of the most widely used measures to disseminate emergency information among building occupants and guide their evacuation behaviors during building emergencies. This study aimed to assess the ...
Methodology for Extended Reality–Enabled Experimental Research in Construction Engineering and Management
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Extended reality (XR) technologies are increasingly being used as a novel research instrument to facilitate scientific inquires in the construction engineering and management (CEM) domain. By allowing humans to interact ...
Dynamics of Project-Driven Production Systems in Construction: Productivity Function
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mathematical models have historically enabled a thorough understanding of production mechanisms in manufacturing supporting actions and laws to improve fabrication and building performance. Although much work has been done ...
Implementing Lean Production in Copper Mining Development Projects: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lean production is a management philosophy that creates competitive advantages and provides important savings opportunities for companies and organizations. However, there is limited evidence showing to what extent lean ...
Exploring the Relationship between Construction Workers’ Personality Traits and Safety Behavior
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the workplace, some workers tend to have a higher probability of incurring an accident. Such individuals might behave unsafely because they assign low priority to safety. Some evidence in the literature suggests that ...
Integrating the Last Planner System and Immersive Virtual Reality: Exploring the Social Mechanisms Produced by Using LPS in Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Over the last 30 years, the last planner system (LPS), as a Lean-driven production planning and control tool, has consistently demonstrated its capability to improve planning reliability and overall performance in ...
Understanding Social Interaction and Physiological Patterns in Nonlean and Last Planner System–Based Project Teams: A Comparative Study Using Immersive Virtual Reality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There are different interactions and physiological patterns in coordination meetings between non-lean and last planner system (LPS)-based project teams. This phenomenon is the result of the top-down workflow control in the ...
Using a Pressure-State-Practice Model to Develop Safety Leading Indicators for Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
LEBSCO: Lean-Based Simulation Game for Construction Management Classrooms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Simulations and classroom games are effective hands-on learning tools for construction management students and practitioners. This paper presents the background, methods and results of a new simulation management game ...
Impact of Activity Sequencing on Reducing Variability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Variation in production is a major cause of producing waste in onsite construction operations, resulting in a workflow that is full of delays and interruptions. To reduce the negative impact of waste in construction, ...
