GIS Application in Construction Engineering

For its complexity, engineering construction schedule design is limited by various factors. Simulation-based engineering construction schedule takes critical path method network as frame and calls complex cyclic operation network simulation model enclosed in advance for its simulation nodes. Cyclic operation network simulation model takes charge of simulating stochastic duration of activity and efficiency of resources, while critical path method model performs proiect scheduling. This combination avoids the shortcomings of both models. Furthermore, geographic information system (GIS) technique is utilized to visuallze the construction processes which are otherwise difficult to be understood by static results described. Application in practical proiect verifies the feasibility and advantage of the technique.
