Further enhancement can derive from the application of holonic systems, inherited from the manufacturing industry, to tackle unforeseen scenario. The aim of this research is to develop a BIM-integrated technology for the real-time pathfinding during emergencies. A virtual reality platform, exploiting building topological data from the digital model, can support the standard emergency approach if an unexpected event voids the network of pre-determined paths. The developed system has been tested in a large mixed-used building assumed as case study.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114340050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

BIM-AM data integration has come with issues related to establishing an effective process to extract, store, and distribute data to ensure interoperability. Several information exchange specifications such as COBie and SPARKie have been developed to enable effective interoperability for better building assets operation and maintenance. Due to asset heterogeneity, the exchange models cannot be generalised and applied to all assets systems. Exchange models need to be developed for particular asset systems based on their functionality and building type. In order to contribute to overcoming the BIM-AM interoperability challenge, this study aims to provide the required semantic and syntactic interoperability aspects for the data exchange of assets that consume energy from the BIM systems to the AM systems during the handover stage.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114394137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering necessary construction adaptions as well as conventional construction planning processes in the context of the factory adaptation process, standard planning methods are unable to support in a fast and efficient way. By application of the BIM method a Building Information Model, which contains all the needed information in one database is generated. BIM is a method for achieving targets, such as selecting the right type of construction technology or building material to evaluate the adaptation measure. The challenges by putting all information in one model are dealing with the amounts of data, identifying data quality and determining the current use case which should be examined. In this publication, the necessary data base is identified and implemented into a Building Information Model to investigate the right fastening system for an Industry 4.0 case study. The use case describes an integration of a robot into a factory in the life cycle phase operation to evaluate, which fastening system is most suitable as a part of taking adaption intelligence of a building to a higher level.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127203592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For fast access to construction’s as-built visual data, construction drones are programmed to autonomously navigate the outdoor space and collect the data. However, due to limited satellite signal indoors, ground rovers provide safer and more reliable autonomous navigation inside the narrow indoor navigable space. In this paper we present a novel pipeline for 4D BIM-driven mapping of the as- built state of indoor construction using 2D Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors mounted on an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). The developed method consists of (1) BIM-driven data collection planning; (2) automatic mission navigation; (3) LiDAR data collection and (4) dynamic obstacle avoidance.

Extensive manual effort is required to extract object point clusters from point clouds followed by fitting them with accurate 3D shapes. Previous research yielded methods that can automatically generate surface primitives combined\u0000with rule-based classification to create labelled cuboids and cylinders. While these methods work well in synthetic datasets or simplified cases, they encounter huge challenges when dealing with realworld point clouds. In addition, bridge geometries,\u0000defined with curved alignments and varying\u0000elevations, are much more complicated than idealized cases. None of the existing methods can handle these difficulties reliably. The proposed framework employs\u0000bridge engineering knowledge that mimics the\u0000intelligence of human modellers to detect and model reinforced concrete bridge objects in imperfect point clouds. It directly produces labelled 3D objects in Industry Foundation Classes format without\u0000generating low-level shape primitives. Experiments on ten bridge point clouds indicate the framework achieves an overall detection F1-score of 98.4%, an average modelling accuracy of 7.05 cm, and an\u0000average modelling time of merely 37.8 seconds. This is the first framework of its kind to achieve high and reliable performance of geometric digital twin\u0000generation of existing bridges.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121465091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sensors network design is rather diffused in laboratory applications, but there are scarce investigations on real civil structures and they are not so well documented. In order to give a contribution in this framework, the present paper deals with the optimal sensors placement problem on lattice towers. With reference to six of the most diffused existing optimum criteria and according to\u0000 mechanical and energetic formulations, several sensors network configurations are calculated for two example broadcasting antennas, adopted as benchmark cases of studies. The final topological configurations of the networks are compared and the most relevant differences are discussed. Moreover, the information content behaviour is computed to investigate the connection between sensors network topology and its ability to withstand the presence of undesired signals (e.g., noise) during the measurements. The results here illustrated may be useful for sensors network design for this special class of structures.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115837939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
