Abstract:

Modeling of global work environments requires the implementation of techniques capable of explicitly defining and capturing interrelationships amongst the individual components that comprise the system. A construction environment creates particular modeling challenges that are a result of its loosely defined working infrastructure. In a detailed effort to develop a methodology for evaluating the automation potential of construction activities, and the consequent assessment of appropriate technology strategies, a model has been developed to depict human-machine interactions for construction work. The model structure follows a systems analysis approach, as would be common in industrial automation, with deliberate considerations for the peculiarities of the construction world.
