Present Status and Future Prospects of Automated Project Performance Indicators' Measurement

Currentmonitoring and controlmethods rely on massive manualwork. As a result, control information is expensive to acquire, or is generated irregularly. Additionally, the information is only available infrequently and its quality and integrity are low.The purpose of the work presented in this paper is to improve monitoring and control information, i.e. to offer it on a daily basis, to improve its quality and integrity and to reduce the cost of generating it. To do all this, the Technion APPC researcher group started exploring the use of automated data collection (ADC) technologies. We developed models for automated labor and earthmoving equipment control, as well as models which utilize data froman existing systems – daily site reporting and building programs.
