Planning and Control of Productivity of Construction Machinery through Use of Wireless Technology

There are many crucial parameters that affect the productivity of the construction machinery. Although various methods and tools exist, available estimates of productivity lack a reliable and adequate prognostic model. Wireless technologies offer considerable potential for application with the purpose of planning and control of the productivity of construction machinery. Considering the fact that there are several types of wireless technologies, each with their own specific characteristics as well as advantages and disadvantages, it is necessary to analyze the adequacy of their application for the construction project at hand and the costs associated with them in order to make the most favorable selection. The paper gives an overview of the situation regarding the research on the issue of planning and control of productivity of construction machinery by applying the following wireless technologies: Radio Frequency IDentification Technology (RFID), Global Positioning System (GPS), and On Board Instrumentation (OBI). Assessment of the actual productivity of construction machinery is necessary in order to predict the required time and cost of construction.
