Although recommendation systems are commonly employed to facilitate purchasing in e‐commerce websites, none involves recommending online products to users from 3D building design models due to dimensional and stylistic discrepancies. This study proposes a vision‐based adaptive cross‐domain online product recommendation method, VacRed, for 3D building design models. First, a cross‐domain approach is proposed to transform design models into e‐commerce images, addressing discrepancies in dimension and style between them. Second, an adaptive mechanism is introduced to solve the issue of image quality instability caused by variations in generator weights during the training process of generative models. Third, a cross‐domain product recommendation system is developed based on deep learning to recommend the top <jats:italic>k</jats:italic> relevant online products for a given building design product. Finally, experiments were conducted to ascertain the effectiveness of the VacRed method. The experimental results of this method demonstrate its excellent performance, achieving a precision rate (<jats:italic>PR</jats:italic>) of 87.20% and a mean average precision of 83.65%.

However, mainstream studies based on Wardrop's theory continues to treat these two modules separately without achieving effective coupling. Optimization‐based methods face the challenge of increasing computational complexity as urban scales continue to expand, constrained to small‐scale road networks. To address the above challenges, this paper proposes HAC3, a hierarchical adaptive cross‐coupled control method for network‐wide traffic management. HAC3 utilizes a rolling horizon architecture, comprising a fast update stage and a slow update stage. The core of the slow update stage is a spatiotemporal superposition vehicle route planning (SSP) module, which assigns the optimal route to each connected vehicle (CV) based on the road network state and the traffic signal timing of each intersection, and clarifies priority in right‐of‐way allocation to avoid falling into local optimal. The fast update stage is used for multi‐intersection adaptive traffic signal control (TSC), taking the intersection state and vehicle routes as inputs to optimize the signal timing scheme. Through the asynchronous cross‐coupling optimization of the two stages, the road network efficiency can be improved while ensuring equilibrium. Experimental results show that HAC3 achieves superior convergence performance on both synthetic and real‐world road network data sets, outperforming baseline methods and proving its scalability to large‐scale road networks. Plug‐and‐play experiments indicate the proposed HAC3 framework can integrate with other mainstream signal control models.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143946357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A graph attention network is built on the long-term graph to capture the spatiotemporal evolving patterns of urban conditions. Then, an adaptive supply–demand sharing embedding network is designed to model the interaction between origin supply and destination demand. Finally, an adaptive feature interaction layer is developed to uncover the complex high-order relations among passenger flows and urban conditions.

Its unique topological characteristics, composed of ring cables and radial cables, determine that the main challenge in its form‐finding lies in controlling the spatial configuration of the inner ring. Existing computational methods primarily rely on numerical iteration based on empirical trial and error, which makes it difficult to effectively address the multi‐variable coupling problem between the prestress distribution and the geometric configuration of the ring cables. Accordingly, this paper aims to establish a deep learning‐based autonomous form‐finding framework driven by geometric constraints and physical equations to achieve the simultaneous intelligent solution of prestress distribution and spatial configuration. The effectiveness and versatility of the proposed method are validated through case studies with various regular and irregular geometric forms. To enhance the precision of form‐finding for structures with intricate geometries, a dual‐optimizer strategy integrating the adaptive moment estimation and limited‐memory Broyden Fletcher Goldfarb Shanno algorithms is implemented. For a spoke cable‐net structure spanning 100 m, the intelligent form‐finding accuracy can be maintained within 1 cm, ensuring a satisfactory form‐finding outcome. The proposed deep neural network (DNN) method automatically correlates cable force distribution with geometric configuration, offering a novel computational approach and solution pathway for the automated shape determination and configuration design of flexible cable structures.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143939988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, current resource leveling strategies exhibit limitations in crew‐based scheduling mechanisms, constraining the flexibility of resource allocation. This study addresses the resource leveling problem of repetitive projects, focusing on leveling resource utilization from the perspective of crews. First, the resource leveling strategy integrating crew interruptions and soft logic is elaborated, along with a discussion of its advantages. Then, a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is constructed to minimize the total deviation in resource utilization. Further, the MILP model is then transformed into a constraint programming model using the optimization programming language and designing a branch‐and‐search algorithm. Finally, three actual construction projects are used to compare the integrated strategy with six different resource leveling strategies. The results show that, compared to the known optimal strategy, the proposed strategy reduces the average resource peak by 17% and the average total resource deviation by 47%. This research provides an effective strategy for project managers to enhance project stability.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143932518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional methods based on cameras or sensors are often limited by their ability to perceive spatial structures. To address this, 3D light detection and ranging has emerged as a promising paradigm for excavator pose estimation. However, these methods face significant challenges: (1) accurate 3D pose annotations are labor-intensive and costly, and (2) excavators exhibit complex kinematics and geometric structures, further complicating pose estimation. In this study, a novel framework is proposed for full-body excavator pose estimation directly from 3D point clouds, without relying on manual 3D annotations. The excavator pose is parameterized using pose parameters of geometric primitives under kinematic constraints. A unified deep network is designed to predict pose parameters from point clouds. The network is initially pre-trained on synthetic data to provide parameter initialization and then fine-tuned using real-world data. To facilitate label-free training, the self-supervised loss functions are designed by exploiting the geometric and kinematic consistency between point clouds and excavators. Experimental results on real-world construction sites demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method, achieving an average pose estimation accuracy of 0.26 m. The method also exhibits promising performance across various excavator operational scenarios, highlighting its potential for real-world applications.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143901793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
