The vision of the proposed Alliance Grant is to ensure the health and safety of construction workers in pandemic situations. This research develops an implementation strategy for maintaining physical distance using a Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based optimized work schedule. Time-based simulation (i.e., 4D modeling) capability of BIM will be used in this research. The University of Windsor will lead an innovative research agenda equipped with state-of-the-art facilities in collaboration with the Infrastructure Health and Safety Association (IHSA) to achieve the objectives of this research. IHSA provides the resources and training that control and eliminate safety hazards in the construction industry and will be the most suitable organization to promote this research. Findings of this research will lead towards a safer construction site that adheres with public health guidelines. This research promotes using cutting-edge technology (i.e., BIM) for improving construction operations. Site managers can leverage the proposed scheduling technique and training material to enhance site productivity and safety, and avoid costly shutdowns during pandemics.

拟议的联盟补助金的愿景是确保建筑工人在大流行情况下的健康和安全。本研究开发了一种实施策略，使用建筑信息模型（BIM）为基础的优化工作时间表，以保持物理距离。基于时间的模拟（即，4D建模）的能力将在这项研究中使用。温莎大学将与基础设施健康与安全协会（IHSA）合作，领导一项配备最先进设施的创新研究议程，以实现本研究的目标。IHSA提供控制和消除建筑行业安全隐患的资源和培训，将是推动这项研究的最合适的组织。这项研究的结果将导致一个更安全的建筑工地，遵守公共卫生准则。这项研究促进了使用尖端技术（即，BIM），以改善施工作业。现场管理人员可以利用建议的调度技术和培训材料来提高现场生产力和安全性，并避免在流行病期间代价高昂的停工。
