The construction industry in Hong Kong increased its safety investment by 300% in the past
two decades; however, its accident rate has plateaued to around 50% for one decade …

Lean construction research has shown that managing work flow effectively and maintaining
labor flow on site can improve construction labor performance. Related research also shows …

The integration of system dynamics (SD) with ideas from agent-based modelling (ABM)
offers potential to combine the strengths of the two methodologies. By investigation of the …

Simulation is particularly useful for testing different production control and information flow
methods in construction, because field experiments suffer from difficulties with isolating …

Previous literature has recognized that workers' unsafe behavior is the combined result of
both isolated individual cognitive processes and their interaction with others. Based on the …

Construction simulation is a versatile technique with numerous applications. The basic
simulation methods are discrete-event simulation (DES), agent-based modeling (ABM), and …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a hybrid simulation approach for predicting
the value of labor productivity taking account of various continuous influencing factors and …

This study aims to develop a multi-agent-based simulation system to evaluate the traffic flow
of construction equipment in construction site. It is known that traffic flow of construction …

In 2012, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics, the major earthmoving equipment are
