The previous studies of CSLP centralized on the equal-area and static site layout planning, which is idealized but practical unequal- area and dynamic planning studies are limited. In order to enhance the knowledge and practices of solving unequal-area and dynamic problems, the CSLP decision-making system using ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms is proposed in the study. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed CSLP decision-making system were tested and verified by two projects. The results showed that the proposed CSLP decision-making system can select a good site layout, which reduced the project costs significantly by comparing with the original site layouts. CSLP decision-making system will assist the practitioners in the construction industry to deliver construction projects in a more efficient and effective manner, thus to reduce construction costs significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47608568021143,"sku":"9783639227925","price":7318.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639227925.webp?v=1775053073","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-construction-site-layout-planning-decision-making-system-9783639227925","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
