Construction Planning for Added Value

9312954保尔森的目标是开发和验证新的技术和方法，使调查人员和AEC行业规划者能够使用计算机详细计划项目--包括处理、等待和搬家活动--并将计划的活动归类为增值(VA)或非增值(VA)。研究方法将包括仔细观察和分析实际施工过程。然后，基于这一观察和之前的一些工作，PI将发展关于如何进行详细计划的理论，以推断活动是否增加价值，并提出减少或消除非VA活动的计划选项。利用人工智能(AI)建模技术，Pi将建立符号模型来实现这一理论。此外，还将构建交互式图形用户界面，帮助调查人员进行仔细的验证，以比较观察结果、关于特定项目计划的理论预测和规划者的实际输出。

9312954 Paulson The goal is to develop and validate new technology and methodology that will enable investigators and AEC industry planners to use the computer to plan projects in detail--including processing, waiting and move activities --and to classify planned activities as value-adding (VA) or non-VA. The research methods will include careful observation and analysis of actual construction processes. Then based on this observation and some of prior work, PI's will develop theories of how to do detailed planning, to infer whether activities add value, and to suggest plan options that reduce or eliminate non-VA activity. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) modeling techniques, PI's will build symbolic models to implement that theory. In addition, will build interactive graphic user interfaces to help investigators do careful validation to compare observation, theoretical prediction about plans for specific projects, and the actual output of the planner.
