건설공사에서 토공사가 차지하는 비중은 타공종에 비하여 높다. 즉 건설공사의 생산성을 향상시키기 위하여 토공사를 중점적으로 관리하는 일은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 현재의 토공 시스템은 굴삭 조종자와 현장 계획 관리자의 경험적 지식에만 의지하여 토공 계획을 수립하고 있는 실정이며, 또한 노동 집약적 토공작업의 한계를 벗어나지 못하는 현실로 인하여 토공사를 관리함에 어려움이 있다. 이러한 당면 과제를 극복하고자 BIM 기반의 토공 시스템에 대하여 소개하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 굴삭 장비와 연계하는 토공 계획과 운영 자동화 시스템에 대하여 주로 다루게 된다. 굴삭 작업 계획 생성 시스템, 장비 조종 인터페이스, 웹 기반 Project Management Information System(PMIS)이 개발되는 과정에서 적용된 BIM 요소기술에 대하여 살펴본다.

최근 IoT, AI, Big-data 등 4차 산업혁명기술이 다양한 산업영역에 적용되고 있다. 건설산업에도 4차 산업혁명기술 도입을 위한 다양한 연구들이 진행되고 있으며, 토목 및 건축을 포함한 다양한 건설사업 초기단계에 적용되는 토공사의 자동화를 위한 연구가 국내외에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 토공사 자동화를 위한 기초정보를 제공하기 위해 지반지형을 디지털화하고 이를 건설산업 초기 단계에 활용하기 위한 형태를 제시하고자 한다. 지반지형 디지털화를 위해서는 현장계측, 계측데이터 정합, 건설정보 입력, 분석단위 생성 등의 기능이 요구된다. 토공지형 디지털화 기술은 향후 토공사 자동화를 위한 건설장비군의 효율적 운영을 위해 활용될 수 있다.

The former researches on earthwork automation were mainly focused on GPS and sensor application, environment modelling, equipment path planning, work information management, and remote control etc. Recently, reducing $CO_2$ emission becomes one of main focuses for an automation research. In the case of earthwork operations, many kinds of construction machines or robots are involved, which can cause high level of $CO_2$ in a construction site. An effective earthwork plan and construction machine operation can both increase productivity and safety and decrease $CO_2$ emission level. In this research, some automation concepts for green earthworks are suggested such as a 3D construction site model, a 3D earthwork distribution based on two different earthwork methods, and an earthwork package construction method. A excel-based simulator is developed to generate the 3D earthwork distribution and to estimate the level of $CO_2$ emission for the given earthwork.

The purpose of this study is digitalization of earthwork such as development of 3D terrain analysis platform using latest technologies including unmanned aerial vehicle and terrestrial laser scanner to ultimately achieve earthwork automation. It is necessary to develop related element technologies and to establish regulations so that it can be applied to the domestic construction projects. As a result of pilot project about the earthwork surveying automation technology, it was confirmed that information such as terrain coordinates, soil, boring, and excavation volume is acquired smoothly. In this paper, we investigate related regulations and manuals in Japan and propose the improvement plan of domestic regulation. We plan to study regulations from early to final construction stage, combine with the 'regulation for public surveying', and improve the regulations in detail.

Land development is an essential process to provide lands for housing, industrial, and tourism complex. The development and application of construction automation technology in land development construction are, however, not matured yet. Since land development requires massive investment in terms of cost and effort, the benefits of implementing earthwork construction automation technology could also be enormous. As such, the deployment of advanced technology needs to be assessed. In this paper, by investigating domestic and international advanced earthwork technology, 8 candidate technologies to be developed is derived. These technologies are then prioritized using AHP and web-based survey that distributed to experts in the field of civil and infrastructure. As a result, advanced earthwork fleet management platformization and tele-operation systems for unmanned earthwork are identified as the top priority. Besides through sensitivity analysis, the trends of the technology rank by the weight distribution of the evaluation factor is investigated. Consequently, the research and development processes for the earthwork construction automation technology in land development are explored and based on the results, the research and development road map plan is established.

The purpose of the present study is to suggest composing the graph topology of sketch drawing element and the recognition of the shape pattern for the earthwork quantity calculation. The algorithm which can extract the topology element such as vertex, edge, face and establish the relation between each topology was developed. The model which can define earthwork graph and recognize the shape pattern of earthwork was presented. As a result of the study, the shape pattern of earthwork that can't be calculated by existing earthwork calculation program could be recognized as expanding this model. The earthwork shape recognition automation using the graph topology model can be applied to the automation for the earthwork quantity estimation.

Recent advances in automation and robotic technologies in the manufacturing industry suggest that the greater level of automation may be extremely beneficial for the construction industry. However, only some of the high-technology advances may be applied to the construction industry due to the fast-changing construction environment in which work locations are constantly changing and material, equipment, and workers are always moving. The earthwork operation for site development is a good candidate for applying automation technology, because it is a very repetitive and tedious task and needs lots of construction equipment. This paper presents the model of a construction environment and a moving plan for an automated earthwork system, which can produce an effective moving path of an excavator platform with an Octree model. To generate the moving path, the know-how of skilled operators and construction managers is added in the proposed model.

The demand for the development of automated construction equipments is gradually increasing to deal with the current problems of construction technology, such as a lack of experienced workers, the aging of engineers, safety issues, etc. In particular, earth work such as excavation is very machine-dependent, and there has been a great deal of research on the development of an intelligent excavator, which involves great safety concerns. Thus, the objective of this study is to develop the technology to enhance the safety of intelligent excavation systems by developing an omnidirectional object detection technology for the intelligent excavator and applying it to a user-friendly system. The existing literature was reviewed, and the function of various sensor technologies was investigated and analyzed. Then, the best laser sensor was selected for an experiment to determine its effectiveness. An omnidirectional object detection algorithm was developed for a user interface program, and this can be used as the fundamental technology for the development of a safety management system for an intelligent excavator.
