Each participant in building construction project requires their own workspace to execute their activities. In this environment, inappropriate workspace planning in construction site causes workspace conflicts which result in a loss of productivity, safety hazard and poor-quality issues. Therefore, workspace should be regarded as one of the most important resources and constraints have to be managed at construction site. However, current construction planning techniques such as Gantt chart, network diagram and critical path method have proven to be insufficient to workspace planning. This paper contains formalized process for workspace planning in 4D BIM environment to prevent workspace related problems in construction project. The proposed process in this paper represents workspace occupation status for each activity and suitable solutions for identified workspace conflicts by integrating workspace attributes and activity execution plan. Based on the result of this study, project manager will be able to prevent probable workspace conflicts and negative effect on project performance by devising appropriate workspace plan during preconstruction phase.

한국과학기술원 인간친화복지로봇 연구센터에서 개발 중인 ISH(Intelligent Sweet Home)는 다양한 서비스 로봇 및 인간-기계 인터페이스(HMI:Human-Machine Interface)를 통해서 노약자 및 장애인의 일상 생활을 도와 줄 수 있는 지능형 주거 공간이다. ISH에서는 홈네트워크를 통해 연결된 가전 기기 및 환경 정보 취득이 가능한 센서 장비, 그리고 지능형 침대, 휠체어, 이동 보조 로봇 등이 거주자가 독립 생활을 영위할 수 있도록 여러 가지 서비스를 제공한다. 하지만 노약자 및 장애인의 관점에서 서비스 양의 증가뿐만 아니라, 이를 쉽고 편하게 운용할 수 있는 서비스 질의 측면 또한 중요하게 고려하여야 한다. 이러한 이유 때문에, ISH에서는 집사 로봇(steward robot)의 개념을 도입하여 거주자와 복잡한 시스템의 효율적인 매개체로 사용하고 있다. 사용자의 편의를 추구하기 위한 공학적인 접근방법 중의 하나로, 본 논문에서는 집사 로봇의 작업 계획 기능에 대해서 설명하도록 한다. 작업 계획 시스템을 이용하여, 집사 로봇은 사용자의 상위 레벨 명령을 해석하여 각 로봇 또는 제어 가능 개체들을 제어하게 된다. 제안하는 시스템은 STRIPS(STanford Research Institute Problem Solver) 상태 표현 방법과 그래프계획(Graphplan) 방법에 기반하여 작업 계획을 수행한다. 또한 작업 계획 속도를 증가 시키기 위하여 공간 추상화(world abstraction)와 하위 목표 계획(subgoal planning)의 개념을 적용하였다. 그리고 ISH에서 정의된 시나리오를 이용한 상위 레벨 명령을 통해 제안된 시스템의 효용성을 검증하도록 한다.

A heuristic search algorithm is proposed to plan a collision free path for robots in an indoor environment. The proposed algorithm is to find a collision free path in the gridded configuration space by proposed heuristic graph search algorithm. The proposed algorithm largely consists of two parts : tunnel searching and path searching in the tunnel. The tunnel searching algorithm finds a thicker path from start grid to goal grid in grid configuration space. The tunnel is constructed with large grid defined as a connected several minimum size grids in grid-based configuration space. The path searching algorithm then searches a path in the tunnel with minimum grids. The computational time of the proposed algorithm is less than the other graph search algorithm and we analysis the time complexity. To show the validity of the proposed algorithm, some numerical examples are illustrated for robot.

In scheduling multi-unit projects, several alternatives can exist in network construction due to repetitiveness of their activities. Project duration is affected not only by the duration of each activity but also by the arrangement of repeating activities in such projects. This paper provides a network compression method that assigns predecessors to each activity to minimize its float time. Different to the previous efforts that utilized line of balance as the base scheduling-model, this research adopts precedence diagram arranged in two coordinates, the space axis and the resource one. This method seeks the most appropriate predecessors for each activity in each direction of the two coordinates for the purpose of minimizing the idle resource and space. This activity arrangement method was applied to a multi-unit apartment-construction project, to prove its capability of network compression. The result shows that the method successfully sought room for saving construction duration by changing the activity arrangement. The network compression method presented in this research can be utilized in multi-unit construction projects such as apartment complex projects.

As the linear scheduling method has been used since the Empire State Building linear schedule in 1929, it is being applied in various fields, such as construction and manufacturing. When addressing concurrent critical paths occurring in a linear construction schedule, empirical researches have stressed resource management, which should be applied for optimizing workflow, ensuring flexible work productivity and continuous resource allocation. However, work relationships have been usually overlooked in making the linear schedule from an existing network schedule. Therefore, this research analyzes the previous researches related to the linear scheduling model, and then proposes a method that can be applied for adopting the relationships of a network schedule to the linear schedule. To this end, this research considers the work relationships occurring in changing a network schedule into a linear schedule, and then confirms the activities movement phenomenon of linear schedule due to workspace change, such as physical floors change. As a result, this research can be used as a basic research in order to develop a system generating a linear schedule from a network schedule.

The development of construction automation systems is proposed as a potent solution to the difficulties encountered by the construction industry and the preparation for the rapidly changing construction environment. A research concerning an intelligent excavation system has taken place since 2006. The intelligent excavation system has several functions for environment sensing, 3D site modeling, work planning, work path generation, unmaned control, and information management. This paper presents a space information model and a work path simulator for work planning and work path generation which is one of key technologies required to apply the earthwork system to the real world. A data structure for an earthwork site is suggested. It overcomes the limitations of previous data structures such as Quadtree and Octree. The work path simulator can generate an effective work path with considering information on work environment, equipment and operator's heuristic. The work path generated by the simulator is compared with that suggested by human operators.

The aim of this study was to enhance the safety and care of mental health for seafarer working in passenger ship workspaces. Brightness, color values, and color distribution were investigated with issues and improvement ways identified through seafarers' interviews. Firstly, previous studies, references, current policy, regulations, and accident case studies were reviewed. Color compositions of wheelhouse and engine room of M Ship were then surveyed in the field. Color values of each space were analyzed using a colorimeter. Colormeter analysis of brightness and color measurements in the wheelhouse and engine areas indicated that ceilings, walls, and floors were generally dark, with the engine area being very dark. Regarding color, green and blue were distributed in the ceiling of the wheelhouse and engine area, while red and blue were in the walls and floors of the wheelhouse and engine area. According to interviews with seafarers currently working at engine rooms, they responded about their experience of near miss incidents due to a decrepit indoor environment, a dark working environment, slippery and bright flooring, and stairs that were not suitable for domestic users. Thus, when installing lighting in the future, the brightness of the space should be improved by distinguishing between night and day. A lighting plan considering the location of lighting, level of shadow formation and contrast, reflectance of the facility, glare, color of light, floor color plan, and material selection is needed. A facility design suitable for domestic users is also needed.
