Framework of Automatic Cycle Schedule Management Based on BIM Technology
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2022
ABSTRACT
Reasonable schedule management can enable the project to complete tasks on time with minimum resources, including time and labor force. Although schedule management has been greatly enhanced by BIM technology, some dispensable processes still pose negative influences on schedule management. To ameliorate it, this paper proposed a framework of an auto-updated and operational construction schedule management system. It contains four components, which are schedule tasks decomposition, daily task assignment, daily task conducting, and data submission, as well as the operation of Central Data Processing Service Platform (CDPSP). Besides, a program simulation of site assistance is conducted in this paper as a key element. By analyzing practical values, it can be found that the proposed automatic system offers significant benefits in reducing dispensable processes and optimizing schedule management. Further implementation of the system could assist various projects participants in real-time schedule monitoring, resources allocation for multiple projects, and deepening the application of cloud-sharing and cloud-cooperation.
