Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 營建工程系 === 106 === In recent years many railway projects such as Taoyuan Airport MRT, Kaohsiung MRT and Taiwan High Speed Rail have been completed. In addition, the budget of future railway projects account for 48.1% in the forward-looking infrastructure plan, which highlights its importance. Railways, highways, airport runways, tunnels, bridges are all repetitive projects repeatedly done by crews along the planned linear direction. However, the traditional planning methods such as CPM, PERT, do not show the characteristics of the repetitive work in the repetitive project, as they cannot identify the progress of activities and the locations of crews. Therefore, the construction logic sequence cannot reflect the distance requirement between crews, and the planner cannot make appropriate allocation of resources for the work place. This study applies graphical scheduling to repetitive projects. In order to schedule the sequence of the activities, this study designed a graphical algorithm. The meaning of “graphical” is to calculate the relationship between activities in a geometric way. Compared with the traditional algebra algorithm the relationship between activities can be defined more clearly. The computer program is developed in the .NET Framework to implement the algorithm. The purpose of this research to develop a graphical user interface to facilitate the input process of activity information, as well as the relationship defining between activities in a simple and direct way. The scheduling results use a two-dimensioml chart to express the activity units and working process of the repetitive project, and to mark the relationship between activities on the chart. Taking into account the construction rate of different crews and the required distance between the crews, the proposed algorithm assists the scheduler in planning the start time for each activity, estimating the project duration, and presenting a repetitive project schedule. This thesis defines three types of activity(Line,Box,Bar) and their relationship(Global Time,Global Distance,Local Distance,Continuity), then explains the algorithmic steps, and finally, the scheduling results and scenario analysis are presented through case studies of multiple repetitive projects.
