| Abstract |
A ubiquitous environment in construction should be developed integrating hardware and software systems. The objective ofthis paper is to study the feasibility of applying the RFID technology to the concrete pour process, and improve the effectivenessof data exchange. A pilot system of u-CPS (Ubiquitous Concrete Pour System) has been developed to test the feasibility. Thepilot can automatically generate the data for concrete pour work such as departure time, arrival time, concrete pour time.Construction managers can keep track of the progress of concrete pour work using the information. A case study was done for abuilding construction using the pilot system, the result of which demonstrated that the RFID-base system can help improve theeffectiveness of data communication during the concrete pour process. |
