Scheduling of Construction Projects with a Hybrid Evolutionary Algorithm’s Application

The application of time coupling methods in the engineering

“…Subject matter 2 consists of introducing the premisses of Goldratt's theory of constraints (TOC) into the time coupling method (TCM) -the research results are presented in publications [2,5,11,13,14,17,18,22,23]. In TOC, project buffers (PB) and feeding buffers (FB) are introduced into the schedule in order to secure a contractor and project manager from the delay in the date of completing the works.…”

“…The methodology was developed to apply metaheuristic algorithms in order to prioritise the tasks in TCM, whilst considering duration, cost and use of resources [2,5,9]. There is a premise adopted in which a schedule is the equivalent of a chromosome.…”

Computer module for scheduling of transportation of composite beam bridge structures

“…In the paper [1] there was, among other issues, the problem of scheduling of bridge structure construction described, including girders installation. This paper presents a description of the problem along with the organizational and technical considerations, the theoretical basis for model building, the construction algorithm based on the tabu search method, and the results of computational experiments.…”
