Research on Fine Scheduling and Assembly Planning of Modular Integrated Building: A Case Study of the Baguang International Hotel Project

Abstract

There exist various challenges in constructing a large in-city project, such as narrow construction sites, limited surrounding roads, heavy construction periods and tasks, various types of vehicles, and affected cargo transport. Considering construction needs, transportation characteristics, and site conditions, this paper puts forward the overall planning for modular integrated construction (MiC) transportation and on-site assembly. Meanwhile, the traffic organization and transportation scheduling method are designed for smart construction sites and different engineering materials are coordinated in the space-time dimension during the overall period from construction delivery. Meanwhile, an integer programming model is developed to solve the truck scheduling matching problem between the supply side and the construction side. The weighted loss time of the truck is set as the optimization objective function, and time, space, and material type are the constraints. For this model, this paper proposes an operations scheduling solution method by combining operations research and actual field construction scheduling experience. The traditional empirical scheduling method and the proposed operations research scheduling model are compared through a case study of actual engineering scheduling data. The experimental results show that the operations research scheduling model is better than the traditional empirical scheduling method at different traffic levels. In addition, the implementation of the scheme is guaranteed through measures such as pre-data analysis, management framework, and information technology equipment. The planning and scheduling cover the whole process of MiC module transportation and on-site assembly, which have practical guiding significance for the project and ensure the timely success and acceptance of the project.
