Monitoring the productivity of construction equipment would help to improve construction
productivity, control cost, and discover potential project issues. However, manual equipment …

Project controls have traditionally been focused on after-the-fact detection of variances. This
thesis proposes a control system, the Last Planner system, that causes the realization of …

Labor productivity is a fundamental piece of information for estimating and scheduling a
construction project. The current practice of labor productivity estimation relies primarily 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 …

In the surface mining industry the equipment selection problem involves choosing a fleet of
trucks and loaders that have the capacity to move the materials specified in the mine plan …

Abstract Knowledge of labor productivity is essential for cost estimation and progress
control. Due to the limited availability of automatic generation technology for integrated …

Abstract Fuzzy models and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) systems are two well-known
areas of soft-computing that have significantly helped researchers with decision-making …

This study aims to identify systematically the factors that can often influence labour
productivity directly and indirectly, to build a model that can evaluate the significance of …

Estimating equipment production rates is both an art and a science. An accurate prediction
of the productivity of earthmoving equipment is critical for accurate construction planning …

The construction industry is mainly dependent on human resources, and labour costs are
significant. Although many researchers have investigated construction labour productivity …
