Collisions on construction sites are one of the major causes of fatal accidents. The complexity of equipment operations require detailed planning and better real-time control of the work. Research involving artificial intelligence in construction industry has been done to enhance communication between team workers and resolve distributed problems, for example, agent systems have been used for c...

Construction equipment is an important type of resources of heavy construction contractors. Since equipment breakdowns can cause project delays and significant financial losses, the contractors are eager to know those factors causing equipment failures directly or indirectly, related to equipment design, maintenance, and operations. Although Bayesian network can be used for diagnostic analysis ...

Action recognition and tracking of construction heavy equipment is the first step for benchmarking and analyzing the performance of individual machines and evaluating the productivity of a jobsite as a whole. Aside from direct observations, the current approaches for automatically recognizing and tracking various actions of construction heavy equipment includes: 1) using active sensors such as ...

A major problem in road construction is the lack of timely and accurate information about the location and productivity of equipment. As a result, the productivity rate of certain types of construction equipment is low and equipment has to be hired in from third parties. Lack of co-ordination between the equipment department and the site manager is the major cause of these problems. In this pap...

This paper took the MOOC construction of general mechanical equipment maintenance as an example to study its construction. Aspects on course foundation, objectives, knowledge reconstruction, content, implementation effect, existing problems and improvement measures were studied so provide reference for in higher vocational colleges.
