ConPro: Construction Process Simulation

Overview

ConPro is an agent-based model simulating construction processes, focusing on installation and related tasks in building projects. It models workers, tasks, building zones, and project dynamics to analyze productivity and logistics in construction.

Key Features

• Time-based simulation with customizable parameters
• Multiple worker types with varied skills
• Dynamic task allocation and zone-based movement
• Realistic worker behaviors (breaks, schedules)
• Comprehensive data collection and analysis

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• Mesa, NumPy, Pandas, Pathfinding

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies:

   pip install mesa numpy pandas pathfinding
   

2. Place input CSVs in ConPro/ directory.

3. Basic usage:

   from conpro_model import ConPro
   from datetime import datetime
   
   model = ConPro(
       width=132,
       height=132,
       n_plastering_workers=5,
       n_painting_workers=5,
       simulation_startdate=datetime(2022, 5, 16, 6, 0, 0),
       simulation_days=30
   )
   
   model.run_model(step_count=10000)
   
   results = model.datacollector.get_model_vars_dataframe()
   print(results)

Customization

Adjust parameters like project dates, work hours, worker skills, task sequences, and zone configurations in the ConPro class initialization.

Data Collection

Metrics include worker utilization, task progress, zone occupancy, and project duration. Access via model.datacollector.

Future Development

• Simulation visualization
• Enhanced reporting tools
• Advanced worker decision-making
• Performance optimization
