Process Chain Simulation Model of Production, Transportation and Asphalt Paving

Fragmentation of the construction project’s life cycle, as well as the fragmentation of stakeholder responsibilities, is known global problem of the construction industry. In business of production, transportation and paving of great quantities of asphalt mixture, solving this problem has been emphasized by previous researchers as high priority. Detached process modeling and optimization without taking into account constraints of interrelations among sub-processes cannot offer the optimal or quality solution. Thus, it is necessary to structure a developing and easily adjustable model which will be able to integrate all sub-processes with their interrelations. In this paper authors have structured a developing simulation model for planning and optimization “just in time” chain of processes of production, transportation and paving of great quantities of asphalt mixture. Model has been proved, by scenario simulations of generated events, to be dynamic and adjustable for input parameter changes and updates. Authors also discuss the possibilities and constraints of applicability and interoperability of the structured model with the building information modeling concept (BIM).
