Abstract:

As a result of automated construction methods, which many construction companies have worked on these days. Consequently, the following construction planning systems are needed: I) the best framework partition plan, 2) the best layout plan of the hardware and the best usage plan of workers at the construction site, 3) the output of the stage of execution works, in a short period of time. This system also sends the feedback to the design phase. Therefore, we have developed the distributed automatic construction planning system. With this system, the construction planners in the office simply input the design plan (CAD data), carriers data, and stock yields data using computers. The system, with the latest artificial intelligent technology, outputs 1) the best partition plan of the framework, 2) the best sequence of the framework to be built, 3) the best path for each framework to be carried, 4) the best workers plan 5) the best layout of the hardware. As a development environment, we didn't use the conventional client-server model, nor a simple object-oriented model. Rather, we used JAVA, which is independent from the computer hardware, and the latest object-oriented computer language, CLOS (Common Lisp Object System). In this paper, we describe the contents of distributed automatic construction planning system, and the result of applying this system to a relatively high office building.
