The construction industry is an inevitable part of modem development. Now-a-days, the construction industry experiencing several issues related with the maintenance of productivity, quality and labor. Hence there is an immediate requirement for the development of technologies enabling the automated construction equipment. The new technologies should also assure the sufficient safety and efficiency. In the present investigation, an attempts have been made for the development of object sensing algorithm and safety control system for intelligent excavating system. we have analyzed some elemental technologies for sensing objects and also proposed a technology for safety control system as well. The proposed technology will highly influence the safe working performance of construction industry in the positive sense.

Even though the tower crane is a major equipment in a construction of high rise buildings, there are lack of studies of it. This study is presenting a framework of developing a intelligent tower crane applied with the technology of machine-vision, RFID(Radio Frequency Identification), or GPS(Global positioning System) and proposing the prototype of machine-vision module, sub module of this Framework. Through monitoring form CCTV(Closed Circuit Television) and LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) in machine-module the real time communication between in-site workers and crane operator is possible. this will improve the productivity and safety of the tower crane.

We have carried out the development for hydraulic breaker which can be operated by optimal mode with ICT convergence technology. This developed system can predict the rock properties. Moreover, this system can maximize the energy efficient with intelligent control of hydraulic system. In order to provide the optimal impact force, this system can measure the descending depth of piston with the proximity sensor and discriminate the rock properties with the measuring data and control the piston stroke using solenoid valve eventually. In addition, we have developed the controller, display module and operating device for cascade (multi-level impact) system and applied the module which can communicate each system by wireless communications. In conclusion, the control system which can control the multi-level impact in accordance with strength of rocks has been developed and approved by several field tests.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the direction for the development of intelligent agricultural machinery technology in the Republic of Korea. For this purpose, intelligent technology of agricultural machinery was divided into autonomous agricultural machinery and tractor-implement intelligent communication technology. Then, a survey and analysis of a previous study of the Republic of Korea and foreign countries were conducted. GNSS-based autonomous driving technology is still widely used worldwide, and recently, as research on camera and LiDAR-based autonomous driving is actively progressing, autonomous driving technology is becoming more advanced. ISOBUS-based technology is being developed worldwide for intelligent control of tractor-attached implements, and major global agricultural machinery manufacturers are actively applying it to their products. However, although some ISOBUS technologies are being researched in the Republic of Korea, there are no cases of application on agricultural machinery yet. Therefore, to be globally competitive in the agricultural machinery manufacturing industry, there is an urgent need to advance autonomous driving technology and commercialize agricultural machinery using ISOBUS technology.

There have been many efforts in automatic object recognition using computing technologies. Especially in the development of automated construction equipment, automatic object recognition is very important issue for the proper equipment maneuvering. 3D laser scanning, which uses (time-of-flight) method to construct the 3-dimensional information, is applied to the civil earth work environment for its high accuracy, quick data collection, and object recognition capability that will be developed by the authors in the future. The 3D earth model is also used as a fundamental information for intelligent earth work task planning. This paper presents the analysis of the 3D laser scanner market and selection of the most optimum 3D scanner for the intelligent earth work planning. As well as the hardware configuration for the automated 3D earth modeling is developed but also the software structure and detailed user interface are designed in this research. In addition, it is presented in this paper that the accuracy comparison test between TotalStation(R) which is a traditional survey tool and ScanStation(R). The accuracy test is done by relative distance measurement using known targets.

The hydraulic excavators are mainly applied for excavating, public works, quarrying, etc. In some of the construction site, however, they are used for crane works of relatively light materials, although the crane works by the hydraulic excavators are forbidden by law due to the safety reasons. The major construction equipment companies in forward countries have been developing the new systems, e.g. crane works by the hydraulic excavators, and they are working in the construction site. Therefore, the new system of crane works by the hydraulic excavators should be developed for the domestic construction site in order to prevent the accident. In this paper, the fundamental study and experiment are accomplished for the crane system application on the hydraulic excavators.

With the development of urbanization, the increasing of buildings density in urban core areas result in the complexity of construction environment. High-rise landmark building is always preferred in the construction of urban core areas. Super high-rise buildings construction are facing construction management difficulties due to the complex working conditions and enormous building system, especially with the complex surrounding environment of the urban core area, the construction management of super high-rise buildings in the area requires higher, refined and detailed standard. Based on a super high-rise project in a core area of Shanghai which has 370 m building height and 772,643 m² building area, with complex surrounding environment, narrow construction site and many super-high-altitude crossing works. With the application of BIM technology, the Internet of Things, the LAN communication and other various intelligent mechanical equipment, information management systems, the efficiency and refinement of construction management are improved, ensuring the smooth implementation of the project while effectively controlling the impact on the surrounding environment.

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.

A pavement construction process consists of series of lay-down operation for pavement materials to form a designated thickness and compaction operation for the lay-down layer to form a designated strength. A technological breakthrough in pavement compaction equipment was made in last 15 years in western countries: intelligent compaction roller, that is equipped with GPS along with other pavement response sensors is becoming a game-changer in pavement construction. This paper introduces AR system that may be used in asphalt pavement compaction operation using intelligent compactor. Since AR technology is very new concept in road construction society, a suggestion for accompanying education program was also made for specific task group in pavement compaction operation. Since AR technology has not been introduced in asphalt pavement compaction operation, the AR compaction management would lead the construction quality of asphalt pavement to the beyond level.
