Reactive Simulation of Shoring and Excavation Processes based on Automated Performance Monitoring

This Thesis presents novel concepts for reactive simulation of shoring and excavation processes. In this context methods for construction schedule optimization are combined with techniques for real-time data acquisition. Furthermore uncertainty in the durations of activities and the performance factors of involved resources are considered. This Thesis presents a new schedule generation scheme, two heuristic scheduling algorithms, and a concept to automatically track excavation processes.
