The paper presents a methodology for determining earthworks execution time and cost. The
accurate determination of the productivity of machines working in sets is a major problem in …

From the Publisher: Soundly structured and highly practical, this informative guide
introduces users to the concepts, methodologies, and applications of simulation in business …

To be successful in managing earthmoving projects, it is very important to monitor the
operational efficiency and productivity of heavy equipment. Researchers have investigated …

Purpose–A literature review is presented in the subject of construction plant and equipment
management (CPeM) to: delineate the subject; consider its development over recent years; …

This paper explores the role of one-at-a-time experimentation in parameter design of
engineering systems. The focus is on degree of improvement achieved rather than on …

This study presents an integrated method of construction-process simulation and vision-
based context reasoning for productivity analysis of an earthmoving process in a tunnel …

The problem of accurate estimation of earthmoving productivity has intrigued many
researchers for many years, but there is yet no model that will predict the output of such …

This article documents a meta‐analysis of 113 data sets from published factorial
experiments. The study quantifies regularities observed among factor effects and multifactor …

Abstract A reliable Decision Support System (DSS), particularly in the construction domain,
can be driven by quality input information. Although vision-based methods have been widely …

Site layout planning is a complicated issue due to the existence of a vast number of trades
and inter-related planning constraints. In this paper, artificial neural networks are used to …
