Setting up process charts’ parameters to real road construction conditions with the use of information modeling tools

Introduction. The focus of information modeling technologies in the road industry is gradually shifting from the design of facilities to the management of construction. Elements of information modeling technologies are currently underutilized in production due to the lack of necessary tools and methodologies for managing work progress under construction site conditions. The use of electronic technological maps can improve the efficiency and fasten opera­tional process management. To achieve this, process charts must adequately reflect actual construction conditions: equipment parameters, volumes of work along the road length, material properties, and must take into account weather factors. These challenges and the relevance of using information modeling technologies during the con­struction phase determined the purpose of this article: to develop a model and algorithm for linking process chart parameters in road construction to actual production conditions to optimize the organizational and technological process operational management with the use of information modeling technologies and calendar-network planning computer programs.

Models and Methods. This article presents a method for setting the functional, temporal, and spatial parameters of electronic process charts using information modeling technologies. At the first stage, the basic process map model is constructed as a flow structure of the technological process. The model includes system elements and the relationships between them in the form of the performed operations of element transformation from one state to another. At the second stage, the spatial structure of the model is formed by decomposing the front of work into replaceable sections (segments), with the estimation of operation duration with a determined resource provision. The information modeling technologies have been implemented with the use of project management software.

Results. Method’s application has been demonstrated by the example of developing a digital model of the typical technological process flow chart in “MS Project” and by transforming its parameters to real conditions for the high­way roadbed construction.

Conclusion. The use of electronic process charts, on a construction site improves the accuracy and efficiency of the current planning and provides contractors with up-to-date information.
