    Utilization of Artificial Neural Networks for Construction Productivity

    Artificial neural networks provide methods of processing complex data through simulations that resemble human problem solving. Groups of decision nodes are arranged in multiple layers to predict outcomes based on weighted parameters. These applications include cost estimating, productivity forecasting, energy modeling, structural analysis, collision detection, and flow calculation. Combined with earned value management, critical factors…
