Simulationを活用したことにより最適なダンプ台数を検討することができました。幹線道路上での工事のため交通量も非常に多く、ダンプが滞留することによる危険性が懸念されていましたが、滞留が発生することはなかった為、検討の効果を発揮できたのではないかと思います。
Create smart earthwork plans using AI
Smart Construction Simulation dramatically streamlines the conventional construction planning process, which traditionally required 'experience' and 'time,' by leveraging AI technology. Based on 3D data (terrain and design) and jobsite conditions, it recreates the site in a digital environment(Digital twin), allowing you to pre-examine work efficiency and progress to create a more effective construction plan.
Smart Construction Simulation calculates earthwork volumes and machine operation plans within the system, delivering results far faster than manual calculations. Additionally, a process that traditionally took 1-2 weeks to review can now compare and analyze various patterns in as little as one day, allowing you to create a more optimal construction plan.
Upload the 3D terrain data of the jobsite, either before or during construction, along with the 3D design data of the completed form to Smart Construction Simulation.
1 Jobsite Environment
Select the entry/exit points and soil dumping areas on the map, and set the construction schedule
2 Area division
Based on the uploaded 3D terrain and design data, AI automatically identifies the work areas, calculates the cut and fill volumes, and divides the construction areas automatically.
Amid countless combination patterns, AI automatically calculates the most efficient soil allocation and construction sequence, and generates an animation.
Smart Construction Simulation can quickly calculate the necessary earthwork volume and distance required for estimates. Furthermore, after estimation, it can reflect the pre-construction survey data during construction planning, enabling a rapid examination of the plan while taking the latest terrain into account.
Additionally, questions like 'How many ㎥ will it be if I cut two steps from this hill?' can be easily answered by simply hovering the cursor over it in Smart Construction Simulation.
1 Set machinery
Once the soil distribution plan and construction sequence are decided, find the appropriate machinery to meet the requirements. First, select the machinery that is planned to be used on the jobsite.
2 Machine simulation
In machine simulation, driving routes, loading areas, and unloading areas are reproduced as realistically as possible, considering the real jobsite constraints. Once the simulation is completed, run the calculation.
Once the calculation is complete, the estimated total cost and construction completion date are provided as results. You can also check the operating rates of dump trucks and construction machinery. If the operating rate is low, you can use the operational forecast animation to identify congestion points for dump trucks and consider adjusting the driving routes.
Furthermore, by setting the performance values of dump trucks and construction machinery to their actual values instead of the default settings, the accuracy of the simulation improves even more.
In this plan, by changing to a route with no congestion and increasing the operating rate of the dump trucks, both the total cost and the project duration were reduced.
3 High speed PDCA
By installing the Smart Construction Fleet device or mobile app on a smartphone attached to dump trucks, you can monitor the entire jobsite’s movements in real time, and driving histories are automatically recorded.
The recorded driving histories are linked to Smart Construction Simulation, allowing for automatic comparison between planned(Line in blue color) and actual results(Line in green color). By analyzing the differences, you can implement rapid countermeasures, enabling a fast PDCA cycle, which helps maintain a consistently high-efficiency site.
