Combined Strategic-Tactical Planning for Facility Rehabilitation Using System Dynamics and Optimization
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-25)Rehabilitation programs are essential for efficiently managing large networks of infrastructure assets and sustaining their safety and operability. While numerous studies in the literature have focused on various aspects ... -
Comprehensive CP Optimization for Dynamic Scheduling in Construction
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-11)Delays and cost overruns are common facts in construction projects due to its increasing complexity, the day-to-day dynamic changes, the stricter execution constraints, and the general lack of efficient scheduling tools ... -
Construction Site-Layout Optimization Considering Workers' Behaviors Around Site Obstacles, Using Agent-Based Simulation
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-24)The majority of construction projects, especially large ones, experience time delays, cost overruns, productivity loss, and/or accidents. This is particularly so in case of congested and disorganized sites that contain ... -
Early Flame Detection System Using Real-Time Machine-Vision and Image Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2022-02-04)From 2010 to 2019, 110,811 fires with losses have been reported to the Office of Fire Marshall and Emergency Management in Ontario. In The USA, the local fire departments responded to 1,338,500 fires in 2020. These fires ... -
Framework for Scheduling, Controlling, and Delivery Planning for Scattered Repetitive Infrastructure Rehabilitation Projects
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-07)Public-Sector organizations such as School Boards and Universities are faced with significant challenges to keep their aging facilities operational and reducing the large backlog in infrastructure renewal needs. The cost ... -
Impact Assessment of Construction Supply Chain Risk Changes on Project Time and Cost
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-11)The supply chain plays a key role in the construction industry. The importance of the Construction Supply Chain (CSC) is not less than that of the onsite construction phases. There are many risk factors that influence ... -
Investigation of Visualization Needs for Vertical Repetitive Projects
(University of Waterloo, 2018-04-27)Repetitive construction projects, particularly high-rise buildings, are complex projects that suffer from cost overruns and delays. For these projects, efficient repetitive scheduling becomes necessary. Repetitive scheduling, ... -
Machine-Learning Framework for Efficient Multi-Asset Rehabilitation Planning
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-25)While smart cities are viewed as the way of the future, the infrastructure assets expected to support the different smart services are currently managed using frameworks that are outdated, subjective, and inefficient. Such ...
