Popis: | Communication in construction still depends on a communication network much like the Romans used, face-to-face meetings and paper. Not surprisingly, this situation has been identified as an inhibitor to increasing productivity and a source of miscommunication, rework, and avoidable accidents. This paper will present a holonic construction management (HCM) model allowing the inclusion of multitype holons organized in resource clusters as well as “flowing” construction material carrying with it critical information. HCM was successfully tested to provide smooth interface between five different types of holons: (1) equipment, (2) human laborer/operator, (3) material, (4) three-dimensional (3D) space, and (5) information/supply logistics. Results also illustrate the potential of the HCM to integrate the many information and communication technology (ICT) applications into a resilient construction environment where electronic designs are turned into physical products. The results of initial site observ... |
