2. 1. Data based configuration decisions in hospital construction projects

   Author : Pia Schönbeck; Anders Ansell; Malin Löfsjögård; Carmel Lindkvist; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Information management; Configuration management; Decision support; Hospital buildings; Concrete Structures; Betongbyggnad;

   Abstract : The purpose of hospital buildings is to enable the diagnosis, treatment and caring of patients. Hospital configurations are therefore complex and deficient functionality at the final delivery of construction projects are a known issue. Configuration management is essential to ensure that all required functions are fulfilled. READ MORE

4. 2. Assessing Energy Use and Carbon Emissions to Support Planning of Environmentally Sustainable Earthmoving Operations

   Author : Hassanean S.H Jassim; Thomas Olofsson; Nashwan Dawood; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy use; CO2 emissions; earthmoving operation; operational characteristics; project conditions; selection equipment configuration; Byggproduktion och teknik; Construction Management and Building Technology;

   Abstract : Road and infrastructure projects have significant environmental impacts due to their high energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Among it, earthmoving operations contribute disproportionately to these impacts because of their intensive use of heavy machinery. READ MORE

5. 3. Prototyping for Product-Service Systems innovation : Insights from the construction equipment industry

   Author : Ryan Ruvald; Andreas Associate Professor (Docent); Åsa Ericsson; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Product-Service System; Engineering Design; Prototyping; Boundary Objects;

   Abstract : To radically increase the value delivered to the customers in the construction industry a concerted effort is needed to develop solutions beyond incremental adjustments. Simply providing add-on services to existing products does not effectively create solutions with enough gains in core customer values. READ MORE

6. 4. Operator and Machine Models for Dynamic Simulation of Construction Machinery

   Author : Reno Filla; Jan-Ove Palmberg; Jonas Larsson; Allan Ericsson; Tobias C. Larsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : dynamic simulation; construction equipment; discrete simulation; continuous simulation; operator model; driver model; integrated product development; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING has been generally adopted in product development in order to minimise the traditional reliance on testing of physical prototypes. It thus constitutes a major step towards solving the conflict of actual increasing development cost and time due to increasing customer demands on one side, and the need to decrease development cost and time due to increasing competition on the other.

7. 5. A Step Towards the Design of Collaborative Autonomous Machines : A Study on Construction and Mining Equipment

   Author : Martin Frank; Tobias Larsson; Christian Johansson Askling; Åsa Ericson; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Fully autonomous construction and mining machines are not science fiction anymore. For special applications, these types of machinery are well known for several years. The construction and mining industries are ripe for innovative product and service offers, including automated and fully autonomous machines at a larger scale. READ MORE
