Utilizing Field Data Capture Technologies for Monitoring Activities in Double-Shift Construction Projects
Publication: Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (2014)
Abstract
In projects with a tight schedule, one common approach to accelerate the construction progress is to work two shifts (i.e., daytime and night time). However, due to physical, mental and visual fatigue at night and changes in the working conditions as well as a lack of a sufficient number of supervisors at site, lower productivity rates are observed between day and night shifts. To achieve the planned productivity level at both shifts, an effective monitoring and controlling approach is needed. Field data capture technologies, such as RFID video cameras, are promising technologies in improving current control and monitoring approaches. However, some of these technologies are disadvantageous in monitoring construction activities under nighttime conditions. In this paper, performance of the field data capture technologies for monitoring and managing double-shift projects were evaluated by reviewing previous studies and an envisioned approach for monitoring double-shift projects by using the selected technologies were provided.
