Ladungsoptimierung in der Baulogistik auf Basis von BIM
BIM-based freight optimisation in construction
Bachelor thesis, Master thesis
Construction logistics deals with the transport and storage of building materials as part of the execution of a construction project. The task of supply logistics is to provide the construction site with the required building materials as resource-efficiently as possible and in line with the demand. Within the framework of transport planning, the means of transport, i.e. lorry, train or ship, must be loaded as optimally as possible. This planning process could be supported by the use of a Building Information Model (BIM). The thesis is offered with possible practical support from Max Bögl.
In order to conserve resources and reduce transport costs, it is necessary to optimise the loading of means of transport. When planning the loading of a means of transport for the delivery to construction sites, it is important to consider further constraints in addition to the standard geometric constraints that the products do not overlap and that the dimensions of the means of transport are not exceeded. These include the installation sequence, the total weight of the load, the distribution of the load in the means of transport, available lifting equipment on the construction site, etc. BIM can provide valuable data in this process and simplify the planning process. A possible final thesis should therefore investigate which optimisation algorithms exist for load planning and how BIM can be used in the planning process. It would also be conceivable to investigate the use of AI methods in the context of load optimisation with BIM.
