Abstract

Recently, the construction industry has been pursuing economical construction by introducing improved construction equipment and methods. However, in many cases, the equipment operation according to the intuition of the field manager and in the manner of traditional methods impedes the increase in effectiveness in terms of productivity and economy. The performance of new construction equipment has rapidly improved; however, the maximum effect of mechanized construction cannot be obtained unless the effective management and operation methods are implemented. According to the expert survey, it has been discovered that the problems of conventional construction equipment operation methods can be classified into several categories: allocation of construction equipment that is not suitable for the construction work, the combination of equipment that does not take into consideration real-time field situations, the decline in the skill of the construction equipment drivers, and lack of real-time access to necessary information. This paper proposes a construction equipment management system to solve these problems. The construction equipment management system can provide a method to maximize the work rate of the construction equipment fleet by developing an equipment allocation plan based on field conditions, whenever necessary, and transferring this information to the construction equipment drivers in real time. Ultimately, it is believed that the application of the construction equipment operation system in the field will make it possible to reduce carbon emissions by improving productivity and reducing fuel consumption.

최근 건설공사는 개선된 건설장비의 투입과 기계화 시공에 적합한 시공법을 적용하여 경제적인 시공을 추구하고 있다. 하지만 많은 경우에 공사관리자의 직관과 전통적인 방식으로 건설장비를 운영함으로써 생산성 및 경제적 측면에서 효과를 증대시키지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 최근의 각종 건설장비의 성능은 급속도로 발전되고 있지만 기계화 시공을 위한 관리방법 및 운영방법이 뒷받침되지 않는다면 기계화 시공으로 인한 효과를 최대한으로 누리지 못하게 된다. 전문가 설문에 따르면 전통적인 건설장비 운영방법의 문제점은 공종에 적합하지 못한 건설장비의 투입과, 실시간 작업상황을 반영하지 못하는 건설장비의 조합, 건설장비 운전자의 숙련도 저하와, 필요한 작업정보의 실시간 이용불가로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 건설장비 운영시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 건설장비 운영시스템은 현장상황을 고려하여 필요할 때마다 건설장비 할당계획을 수립하고 이러한 정보를 실시간으로 건설장비 운전자에게 전달함에 따라 건설장비군의 작업시간율을 최대화할 수 있도록 하는 방법을 제공한다. 궁극적으로 건설장비 운영시스템의 현장적용을 통하여 작업생산성 향상과 연료사용량을 감소함으로써 탄소배출도 저감할 수 있을 것이다.
