Abstract

AbstractIn order to develop a realistic simulation model, it is critical to provide the model with factual input data based on the interactions and events that take place between real entities. However, the existing trend in simulation of construction fleet activities is based on estimating input parameters such as activity durations using expert judgments and assumptions. Not only may such estimations not be precise, but project dynamics can influence model parameters beyond expectation. Therefore, the simulation model may not be a proper and reliable representation of the real engineering system. In order to alleviate these issues and improve the current practice of construction simulation, a thorough approach is needed that enables the integration of field data into simulation modeling and systematic refinement of the resulting models. This paper describes the latest efforts by authors to design and test a novel methodology for multimodal-process data capturing, fusion, and mining that provides a solid...
