Work dispatch and path planning of automobile crane by cure-type GA

We have developed a system called DPSS that can generate a feasible solution to a combined work dispatch and path planning problem of a group of hoist cranes in a construction environment defined as a site-factory. A variation of a genetic algorithm that takes the curing process into consideration is devised to obtain feasible solutions. The site-factory is an assembly field in a construction site where partially prefabricated parts are assembled into a construction unit called a coffee-table module. It consists of three areas with moveable rails in two end (receiving and assembling) areas and fixed rails in the middle (buffer) area. It is noted that the concept of this coffee-table construction method including the concept of site-factory is proposed in the IF7 project of IMS governed by MITI
