The construction industry faces challenges of labor shortages and safety concerns. Machine
control (MC) technology offers a solution, particularly for graders in earthmoving operations …

Autonomous robots can use path planning techniques to determine the optimal trajectory
during the mission. These techniques can be classified as classical, meta heuristic, or …

Earthwork scheduling (during the planning phase of road construction) is an important task
that directly affects the cost and time of a project. However, the current scheduling methods …

In a practical context of construction management, a number of special contractors are
selected to deliver a multiproject program in a definitive time frame. Research has yet to …

To meet a challenge of constructing future cities through digital transformation projects cities
themselves must act proactively. In this paper, a methodology of synthesizing the project …

Earthwork allocation is a critical component of engineering construction projects, with the
