Abstract:Resource scheduling, or the allocation of resources over time, poses a great challenging to the transportation management of construction elevators in mega and multiple item cross construction projects. Combined with the development of construction simulation, this paper proposed a simulation based auction protocol model for resource scheduling management, and established a transportation management system for construction elevators by using agent based simulation. The application of this system in complex and dynamic environment show that it can provide a resource driven schedule, predict completion time, and calculate the total cost. Besides, it can improve the comprehensive ability of the transportation management, from multiple aspects such as transportation work packages delay and its storage, idle elevators and so on.
