Site Layout and Resource Scheduling - An Approach to Modelling Movement around Sites

This paper describes the results of experiments carried out in order to model the movement of resources round a construction site. The model deve16ped takes into account the accesses provided, the layout of the facilities on the site, the shape of the structural elements and the shape and size of the resources. The results show that it is possible and practical to produce such a model and to use it for planning even complex projects.
