Construction processes range from the very simple to the very complex. Complex processes
are difficult to analyze and optimize using standard mathematical methods. Simulation is an …

This paper examines the characteristics of discrete-event simulation systems in terms of their
application breadth (general or special purpose), modeling paradigm (process interaction …

This paper discusses shortfalls in relation to the requirements gathering phases of
simulation. While many developments have taken place around supporting the model …

The comparison of alternative construction methods is one of the principal reasons for using
simulation to model construction processes. The efficiency and effectiveness of such …

The systems that historically have been used to collect data for time studies of construction
operations are manual in nature and limited to the observer's field of view. Global …

Accurate estimation of construction production, which is composed of productivity and unit
costs, allows construction planners and managers to have excellent control over current …

This paper presents a comprehensive model with an application of discrete-event simulation
(DES) that facilitates an estimation of CO 2 emissions resulting from equipment operation in …

Eight successively refined simulation models for the earthmoving operations involved in the
construction of a dam provide the foundation for illustrating the ease and effectiveness of …

Construction operations are often repetitive not only in terms of time (the same tasks are
performed over and over) but also in terms of space (the same tasks are repeated at several …

Abstract Research Question: How can serious games for Lean Construction courses,
traditionally implemented in person, be efficiently virtualized for hybrid or online education …
