Automated Data Acquisition for On-Site Control

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the need for automated real-time project control, as well as to present a model for such control, based on Automated Data Acquisition (ADA). The idea behind the present development is to determine if measuring the location of workers, or other mobile agents on-site, at constant time intervals, using remote sensing, provides the required control data. The ideas developed here can also be implemented for navigating and controlling construction robots.
