Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This paper presents the development of a practical and automated system for optimizing the utilization of construction resources to simultaneously minimize project cost and duration while maximizing project quality. The system is named the Multiobjective Automated Construction Resource Optimization System (MACROS), and it incorporates four newly developed modules: (1) a multiobjective optimization module to quantify and optimize the impact of resource utilization decisions on construction duration, cost, and quality; (2) a relational database module to facilitate the storage and retrieval of construction scheduling and optimization data; (3) a middleware module to provide seamless integration between the internal modules in MACROS and external commercially available project management software; and (4) a user interface module to facilitate the input of project data and the visualization and ranking of the generated optimal construction plans. An example project of 180 activities is analyzed to illustrate the use of MACROS and demonstrate its unique and practical construction optimization capabilities.
