A dynamic development of IT applications automating external processes based on a B2B model refers to a variety of enterprises, including construction companies. Due to the high variability of data during the construction processes performance and the need of a continuous data bases supplied with current data, construction companies expect a good, multifunctional and efficient system - a B2B platform that supports the exchange of data between the ERP system, perceived as an operational layer, and modules responsible for the design, cost estimation, monitoring and control of construction processes implemented in the headquarters and directly on the building site, including the cooperation with subcontractors. The main aim of this article is to present the results of research focused on software functionalities currently available on the market which support a construction process. Ultimately, the results will be used to identify functional gaps in existing software for the construction industry. Then, the functional architecture will be designed containing standard and specialized components that will be the basis for the creation of B2B system OPTIbud.

Schedule Execution

Construction schedule becomes part of positive practice of our construction. The construction of Building and Residential Complex Stepa Stepanovic has been used for conducting research among responsible contractors on certain aspects of schedule execution, problems during its executions and use in construction process. The results of the research show that there is lack of time and professional teams to produce detail construction schedule. Possiblities provided by the project management softwares are hugh and should be used in order to better assses the current state of construction and risks that accompany it.

The emergence and development of machine learning technologies, unmanned aerial vehicles, 3D-modeling technologies integrated with the concept of "smart construction" significantly expand the possibilities of creating and applying the concept of an effective logistics system for building production at the stage of construction and installation works. At the same time, there is a need to develop a model for creating, processing, storing, issuing and visualizing information on the state of construction production from the point of view of the material and technical support system. The article formulates and considers the concept in the form of electronic automated model with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, presents the mechanism of monitoring and control of construction and installation works and logistics. The capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles, such as visual inspection of buildings, measurements of structures, monitoring of the construction process, control of work performed, monitoring of the timing and cost of work, etc. were determined. Advantages and disadvantages of this system are revealed. The concept developed on the basis of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles makes it possible to create a 3D model, compare its graphic and digital characteristics with the project, identify deviations and defects, the amount of material and technical resources necessary for the uninterrupted construction process, automate and reduce the cost of the process of logistics.

Abstract Following the enactment of Regional Law 23/2015 in Lombardy, Agencies for Health Protection (AHP) were set up with programming, monitoring and control tasks on all areas of public health, including hospital performances. It was therefore necessary to develop a new efficient system of negotiation with stakeholders. A summary document has been created for each hospital that highlight the areas to be improved. This report is based on the use of updated indicators validated nationally and internationally, relating to average hospital stays, volumes and outcomes. Main sources were the National Outcome Program, the Ministerial Decree 70/2015 and the Network of Regions. As comparison values, the thresholds from international literature or Italian legislation. The report was sent to the stakeholders in advance, initially in paper format then through a dedicated portal, before the discussion of the contractual objectives with Executive Board, Epidemiology Unit and the Department of Planning, Purchase and Control. The achievement of the objectives entails a substantial economic benefit, from year to year more and more conspicuous. The results accomplished were twofold. On one hand there was the improvement of several indicators: for AHP as a whole, such as the fracture of the femur operated within 48 hours went from 50% in 2015 to 74% in 2019; for individual hospitals, for example, some hospitals that did not perform cholecystectomies in day surgery have started to do them. On the other hand, it was possible to detect system critical issues that made it difficult to achieve the objectives for the stakeholders. Linking the contractual objectives to epidemiological indicators discussed collectively was productive to both AHP and stakeholders and allows objective and constant monitoring of the progresses and difficulties encountered. Key messages Internal cooperation in the AHP and direct dialogue with stakeholders are necessary to achieve ambitious objectives. The use of validated epidemiological indicators as contractual objectives makes the assessment and contracting process of hospitals more transparent and objective.

Traffic Rules

In recent times, traffic rules are more often violated by the drivers. And, also driving at high speed needs to be controlled. So, stealthy monitoring and control of the vehicle is required. Sometimes it is not possible to see the boards and traffic symbols kept alongside of the road. The main objective of this paper is to design and develop an efficient system that can effectively detect speed violations on the road using RF technology. The proposed system gives an alert to the driver through LCD and voice boards. In the proposed system, if over speeding vehicles don’t get controlled manually, then the system turns ON and will get controlled automatically and detect any vehicle opposite to, utilizing the vehicle on-board unit. The challenges to overcome include GSM-based Accident/Panic alert using ARDUINO mega.

The authors are collaborating with a manufacturer of custom built steel frame modular units which are then transported for rapid erection onsite (volumetric building system). As part of its strategy to develop modular housing, Enemetric, is taking the opportunity to develop intelligent buildings, integrating a wide range of sensors and control systems for optimising energy efficiency and directly monitoring structural health. Enemetric have recently been embracing Building Information Modeling (BIM) to improve workflow, in particular cost estimation and to simplify computer aided manufacture (CAM). By leveraging the existing data generated during the design phases, and projecting it to all other aspects of construction management, less errors are made and productivity is significantly increased. Enemetric may work on several buildings at once, and scheduling and priorities become especially important for effective workflow, and implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The parametric nature of BIM is also very useful for improving building management, whereby real-time data collection can be logically associated with individual components of the BIM stored in a local Building Management System performing structural health monitoring and environmental monitoring and control. BIM reuse can be further employed in building simulation tools, to apply simulation assisted control strategies, in order to reduce energy consumption, and increase occupant comfort.

Personal computers (PCs) are a powerful resource in the EM Laboratory, both as a means of automating the monitoring and control of microscopes, and as a tool for quantifying the interpretation of data. Not only is a PC more versatile than a piece of dedicated data logging equipment, but it is also substantially cheaper. In this tutorial the practical principles of using a PC for these types of activities will be discussed.The PC can form the basis of a system to measure, display, record and store the many parameters which characterize the operational conditions of the EM. In this mode it is operating as a data logger. The necessary first step is to find a suitable source from which to measure each of the items of interest. It is usually possible to do this without having to make permanent corrections or modifications to the EM.
