Abstract:

ESBE is the hybrid object-oriented expert system for the optimization of construction site layout. The task is the dimensioning and the arrangement of the individual construction site facilities. It consists of three major parts: an object-oriented construction site database which contains general and company specific data of the construction site facilities and the building data; a hybrid system with mathematical optimization algorithms and an expert system (knowledge based system) as well as a well-tailored user-interface with a 3D visualization component. This paper describes the reasons to develop ESBE and to choose the hybrid solution approach.
