Abstract

The flows of materials arriving at, and waste moving out of a site, require detailed planning for smooth logistic processes. This is underscored by the temporal and spatial limitations around sites, characterized as a pure bottleneck. This paper proposes a conceptual data framework for developing digital twins for logistics capacity planning in construction to align the capacities for (i) incoming materials, (ii) on-site material handling, and (iii) material dispatching from the site. The framework is tested based on quantitative mapping of transport arriving, departures, and movements on-site, from two real-world planned projects. This mapping is then used for testing construction site layout planning (CSLP) scenarios of capacity dimensions through simulations. Ultimately, this paper proposes a first step to integrate transport plans in CSLP. Practitioners can use the model for planning sites for smooth material flows and properly dimensioning loading and unloading area capacities to avoid bottlenecks in logistic operations.

基于仿真的建筑物流能力调整概念模型

物料的到达和废物的运出需要详细的规划，以确保物流过程的顺利进行。场地周围的时间和空间限制强调了这一点，其特点是纯粹的瓶颈。本文提出了一个概念性数据框架，用于开发用于建筑物流能力规划的数字孪生，以协调(i)来料、（ii）现场物料处理和（iii）现场物料调度的能力。该框架基于两个实际计划项目的交通到达、离开和现场移动的定量映射进行测试。然后，该映射用于通过模拟测试容量维度的施工现场布局规划（CSLP）场景。最后，本文提出了在CSLP中整合运输计划的第一步。从业者可以使用该模型来规划站点，以实现顺畅的物料流动和适当的装卸区域容量，以避免物流操作中的瓶颈。

期刊介绍： Automation in Construction is an international journal that focuses on publishing original research papers related to the use of Information Technologies in various aspects of the construction industry. The journal covers topics such as design, engineering, construction technologies, and the maintenance and management of constructed facilities. The scope of Automation in Construction is extensive and covers all stages of the construction life cycle. This includes initial planning and design, construction of the facility, operation and maintenance, as well as the eventual dismantling and recycling of buildings and engineering structures.
