Abstract
Cyber-physical systems in construction
Incoming article date: 17.03.2019Wide integration of computing resources into physical processes resulted into evaluation of new concepts and evaluation of a concept of cyber-physical sysems in particular. The article reveals an approach of implementation of cyber-physical processes into construction field. Since the process of construction faces the problems, which were traditionally considered as poorly formalized, that leads to an accumulation and transfer of huge amounts of often heterogeneous in its structure and purpose of information. As a result of a detailed analysis of the prerequisites for the creation, structure and functions of cyber-physical systems, the authors establish that the solution of such problems is engaged in cyber-physical systems. The importance of the use of cyber-physical systems in the construction industry is due to its significant role in the economy of any country. The authors identify a number of areas of application of cyber-physical systems in construction, such as monitoring and control of various parameters and systems, logistics and many others. Further studies of the authors need the development of specific algorithms for the implementation of cyber-physical systems in solving these problems.
