Improving hoist planning for tall buildings

该行业伙伴确认，需要先进技术和创新技术来改进高层建筑(40层以上)施工的吊装规划，并制定提高吊装生产率的战略。施工升降机是人工操作的封闭式电梯笼子，在桁架塔架上垂直移动，将人员和小货物安全地运送到较高的楼层。这项研究的目的是开发适合公司项目管理实践的提升机规划和创新提升策略的模型，并提供提高提升机生产率的策略。这将通过开发模拟模型来实现，这些模型允许使用代表风险因素的随机变量来测试和比较各种战略。然后，从多次模拟运行中得到的数据将被用于开发分析模型，可能以回归方程、图表和表格的形式，这些分析模型可以很容易地使用和应用于比较提升机计划策略及其所产生的生产率和成本。

The industry partner identified the need for advances and innovative technologies to improve hoist planning for the construction of tall buildings (more than 40 stories) and development of strategies that improve hoisting productivity. Construction hoists are manually-operated, enclosed elevator cages that travel vertically on truss towers to move personnel and small cargo safely to upper floors. The objective of this research is to develop models for hoist planning and innovative hoisting strategies tailored to the company's project management practices and provide strategies to improve hoist productivity. This will be achieved through the development of simulation models that allow various strategies to be tested and compared using stochastic variables that represent risk factors. Data resulting from multiple simulation runs will then be used to develop analytical models, likely in the form of regression equations, charts, and tables, which can be readily used and applied to compare hoist planning strategies and their resulting productivity and costs.
