  • Measuring the process of construction operations for productivity improvement remains a difficult task for most construction companies due to the manual effort required in most activity measurement methods. There are many ways to measuring the process. But past measurement methods was inefficient. Because they needed a lot of manpower and time. So, this article focus on the vision-based object recognition and tracking methods for automated construction. These methods have the advantage of efficient that human intervention was reduced. Therefore, this article is analyzed the performance of vision-based methods in the construction sites and is expected to contribute to selection of vision-based methods.

  • This paper describes a fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) system developed for the heat source apparatus in building air-conditioning system. As HVAC&R systems in building become complex and instrumented with highly automated controllers, the processes and systems get more difficult for the operator to understand and detect the mal-functions. Poorly maintained, degraded, and improperly controlled equipment wastes an estimated 15% to 30% of energy used in commercial building. When operating a complex facility, FDD system is beneficial in equipment management to provide the operator with tools which can help in decision making for recovery from a failure of the system. Automated FDD for HVAC&R system has the potential to reduce energy and maintenance costs and improves comfort and reliability. Over the last decade there has been considerable research for developing FDD system for HVAC&R equipment. However, they are being made too much of a theoretical study, so only a small of FDD methods are deployed in the field. This study deduced an actual defect source for the heat source apparatus and suggested a low price FDD method which is ready to be deployed in the field.

  • After full implementation of the GMDSS on February 1, 1999, non GMDSS equipped vessels may experience difficulty in establishing communications with vessels complying with the GMDSS. These difficulties are associated with the differences between the automated equipment required in the GMDSSand the non-automated equipment typicaly carried on small vessels. The purpose of this paper is to describe the IMO activities on the application of the GMDSS to non-SOLAS Convention ships both from a radiocommunication and a SAR point of view, and the national GMDSS implementation programme for non-SOLAS vessels. There are no differentiation between SOLAS ships and non-SOLAS vessels complying with the GMDSS, but they have to comply with the GMDSS according to the trading area A1, A2, A3 and A4. Canadian commercial vessels not subjects to SOLAS , will be required to comply with the GMDSS. Carriage requirements are being developed in consultation with the marine industry. The vessels not subject to SOLAS will not be required to carry GMDSS equipment, however, it is recommeded they fit for the GMDSS as applicable to their area of operation in many countries. Some recommednations are made to implement the GMDSS for non-SOLAS vessels in Korea.

  • This study analyzed equipment operation strategy of ATC(Automated Transfer Crane) in order to development efficiency ATC operation logic for apply to domestic ACT(Automated Container Terminal). Improving productivity of ACT developed dynamic operation logic and established dispatching rule. As a result of simulation experiment reduced waiting time and interference time of ATC. Thus, we can improve productivity of ACT using dynamic operation logic and interference avoidance strategy.

  • This paper describes a countermeasure of electric utilities and customer equipment in order to minimize an effect of sensitive electrical and electronic equipment on the voltage disturbances. After being studied, some schemes to solve were discovered. Firstly, in the electric utilities, the reduction of frequency and influence of voltage drop's time are not easy to realize because of the standpoint of effect and economy. Secondly, in the customer equipment, there are some equipment to minimize the voltage disturbances, Such as an UPSs, a noise suppressors and a power conditioners. One of them should be established on the computer control and automated systems, the electromagnetic switch of delay-release type should be adopted on the electromagnetic switch, the controlling circuit should be adopted on the variable speed motors which is being considered a countermeasure for a momentary under-voltage drops, the luminaire adhering a instantaneous restrike device should be adopted on the HID lamp. And also, the scheme of extending a setting time of relay on the undervoltage relay and the forming method of sequence which is automatic reclosing at this time of instantaneous suspension of an electric supply have been studied.

  • There is no specific code and/or standard described in the specifications to check verticality for Pre-tensioned Spun High Strength Concrete pile installation process. The most commonly used method for the vertical PHC pile installation is a naked-eye measurement or water level measurement conducted by assistant crew in the construction sites. The main objective of the research is to develop the automated vertical controllable prototype equipment for PHC piles in order to achieve uniform construction qualify as well as improving safety and productivity. The paper explains the literature review on PHC pile and pile installation process, development of prototype, field test of the prototype and its performance evaluation in terms of quality and safety as well as productivity. The results of the research will lead the further researches on the automated pile installation system.

  • Efficient management of the construction heavy equipment is required to reduce the rate of carbon emissions and on-site accidents. The intelligent excavation system (IES) will improve the construction quality and productivity through information technologies and efficient equipment operation, especially in large earthwork projects. Three-dimensional digitized ground data should be required for identifying the path of heavy equipment and work-site environment. Rapid development of terrain laser scanners (TLS) is more readily to acquire the digital data. This study suggests the '3D ground terrain processing platform (3DGTPP)' including data manipulating module and analyzing module of the scanned data for intelligent earthmoving equipment operation. The processing platform consists of six modules, including scanning, registering, manipulating, analyzing, transmitting, and storing. 3D ground terrain processing platform presented in this study will provide fundamental information for intelligent excavation system (IES), which will increase the efficiency of earthworks and safety of workers in significant.
