Building operations contribute significantly to global carbon emissions, yet existing digital twins rely on static strategies that fail to adapt to dynamic conditions. This paper investigates whether an adaptive reinforcement learning framework with hierarchical transfer learning can optimize real-time energy use and comfort across heterogeneous buildings without extensive retraining. The paper develops and validates a proximal policy optimization controller integrated with a digital twin and 348 IoT sensors across three commercial buildings in a 14-month randomized crossover trial. The approach achieves 23.7 % and 14.9 % energy reductions compared to rule-based control and model predictive control, respectively, while maintaining 94.7 % comfort satisfaction and demonstrating 78 % transfer learning efficiency. These findings provide facility managers and grid operators with a scalable, hardware-validated approach that reduces operational costs and stabilizes demand response without compromising occupant comfort. Future work extends this hierarchical transfer framework to mixed-mode ventilation and district-level energy coordination to further enhance grid interactivity.
建筑运营对全球碳排放的贡献很大,但现有的数字孪生依赖于静态策略,无法适应动态条件。本文研究了具有分层迁移学习的自适应强化学习框架是否可以在不进行大量再培训的情况下优化异构建筑的实时能源使用和舒适度。本文在为期14个月的随机交叉试验中,在三座商业建筑中开发并验证了集成了数字孪生和348个物联网传感器的近端策略优化控制器。与基于规则的控制和模型预测控制相比,该方法分别降低了23.7%和14.9%的能量,同时保持了94.7%的舒适性满意度和78%的迁移学习效率。这些发现为设施管理人员和电网运营商提供了一种可扩展的、经过硬件验证的方法,可以降低运营成本,稳定需求响应,同时不影响居住者的舒适度。未来的工作将这种分层转移框架扩展到混合模式通风和区域一级的能源协调,以进一步增强电网的交互性。

Pavement roughness monitoring is critical for infrastructure management, but conventional automated profiling systems require substantial capital investments, making them inaccessible to limited-budget transportation agencies. This paper introduces a low-cost system combining Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Pulsed Coherent Radar (PCR) technologies through sensor fusion. The approach captures vehicle dynamics via the IMU and pavement surface profiles via the PCR, using frequency-domain processing to isolate true pavement roughness from vehicle-induced motion. Comprehensive validation across twelve road segments and 216 test configurations demonstrates strong performance: MAPE below 9 % and R2 exceeding 0.96 compared to reference measurements. A multi-stage optimization framework integrating Sequential Model-Based Optimization algorithm achieves 80–88 % accuracy improvements through systematic parameter calibration. The complete system costs $214 USD, providing a cost-effective solution for IRI estimation. A user-friendly graphical interface enables practical deployment by non-technical personnel. This approach enables broader adoption of automated pavement monitoring by agencies with limited budgets.
路面粗糙度监测对基础设施管理至关重要,但传统的自动分析系统需要大量的资本投资,这使得预算有限的运输机构无法使用。本文介绍了一种结合惯性测量单元(IMU)和脉冲相干雷达(PCR)技术的低成本传感器融合系统。该方法通过IMU捕获车辆动态,通过PCR捕获路面表面轮廓,并使用频域处理从车辆引起的运动中分离出真实的路面粗糙度。对12个路段和216种测试配置的综合验证显示出强大的性能:与参考测量值相比,MAPE低于9%,R2超过0.96。结合序列模型优化算法的多阶段优化框架,通过系统参数标定,精度提高80 ~ 88%。整套系统的成本为214美元,为IRI估计提供了一个经济有效的解决方案。用户友好的图形界面使非技术人员也能进行实际部署。这种方法使预算有限的机构能够更广泛地采用自动路面监测。

Deep learning–based defect segmentation enables automated detection, classification, localisation, and quantification of structural defects. Although supervised segmentation methods yield strong performance, they require extensive pixel-level annotations and struggle with data scarcity, class imbalance, thin crack segmentation, and generalisation across diverse conditions. This paper proposes a semi-supervised two-stage segmentation framework that integrates a high-accuracy object detection model (Stage I: localisation using YOLO11/Oriented YOLO11) with zero-shot unsupervised segmentation (Stage II: pixel-level mapping using Segment Anything Model with box prompts). The method requires only object-detection labels, eliminating the need for dedicated segmentation annotations. Experiments on benchmark datasets involving steel, masonry, concrete cracks, spalling, and corrosion demonstrate that the hybrid Oriented YOLO11 and SAM model achieves state-of-the-art performance, with an average Dice score of 0.7, comparable to those of fully supervised models. The proposed framework offers real-time performance, strong generalisation, and high scalability, making it a promising solution for robust structural defect segmentation.
基于深度学习的缺陷分割实现了结构缺陷的自动检测、分类、定位和量化。尽管监督分割方法产生了强大的性能,但它们需要大量的像素级注释,并与数据稀缺性、类不平衡、细裂纹分割和不同条件下的泛化作斗争。本文提出了一种半监督两阶段分割框架,该框架集成了高精度目标检测模型(第一阶段:使用YOLO11/Oriented YOLO11进行定位)和零镜头无监督分割(第二阶段:使用带有框提示的Segment Anything model进行像素级映射)。该方法只需要对象检测标签,不需要专门的分割注释。在涉及钢铁、砌体、混凝土裂缝、剥落和腐蚀的基准数据集上的实验表明,混合的面向YOLO11和SAM模型达到了最先进的性能,平均Dice得分为0.7,与完全监督模型相当。该框架具有实时性好、泛化能力强、可扩展性强等特点,是鲁棒结构缺陷分割的理想解决方案。

Accurate and scalable generation of Building Energy Models (BEM) from Building Information Modelling (BIM) data is critical for performance-driven building design. However, existing methods are often constrained by data quality issues and rigid workflows, limiting automation. This paper proposes an automated and scalable BIM-to-BEM (BIM2BEM) framework enabled by knowledge graph integration, designed to support automation and scalability in model generation from imperfect BIM data. To manage model complexity, zoning-based mappings from BIM spaces to thermal zones are derived through multi-factor analysis of spatial relationships, functional usage, thermal load similarity, and HVAC configuration. Applied to a real-world complex building, the framework reduces simulation time by up to 70%, while maintaining energy use deviations within 3% and HVAC sizing variations up to 10%, compared with the full-model baseline. These findings indicate that the proposed framework can enhance BIM2BEM automation, supporting the scalable and flexible generation of simulation-ready models under practical data limitations.

Unlike surface structures, crack detection in underground environments faces greater challenges due to low illumination and complex structural context. This paper develops a diffusion-based model for crack segmentation in underground tunnel structures. Building on a framework that reformulates semantic segmentation as conditional image generation, an enhanced diffusion architecture guided by prior masks is proposed. Trained on a diverse dataset comprising crack images from the Dublin Port Tunnel, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and the Bochum Crack Dataset, the proposed model outperforms benchmark models (e.g., Mask2Former), achieving a 9.1% increase in mIoU and 16.1% in F1-score in multi-scenario validation. In field testing, the proposed two-stage pipeline optimizes inference strategy by excluding crack-free patches (87.5% of the total), and tests real-world applicability, with an absolute mIoU gain of 0.063. Additionally, a post-processing strategy leveraging uncertainty maps further refines the segmentation results.
与地面结构不同,由于光照不足和复杂的结构环境,地下环境的裂缝检测面临着更大的挑战。本文建立了一种基于扩散的地下隧道结构裂缝分割模型。在将语义分割作为条件图像生成的框架的基础上,提出了一种基于先验掩码的增强扩散架构。在都柏林港口隧道、欧洲核研究组织和波鸿裂缝数据集的裂缝图像的不同数据集上进行训练,所提出的模型优于基准模型(例如Mask2Former),在多场景验证中实现了9.1%的mIoU和16.1%的f1分数的提高。在现场测试中,提出的两阶段管道通过排除无裂纹补丁(占总数的87.5%)来优化推理策略,并测试了现实世界的适用性,绝对mIoU增益为0.063。此外,利用不确定性映射的后处理策略进一步细化了分割结果。

Although the use of brain–computer interfaces (BCI) in construction safety management is expanding, no comprehensive review has yet examined how generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) can enhance BCI systems in this domain. A total of 292 peer-reviewed journal articles are analysed in this review. The state-of-the-art applications such as simulation, real-time monitoring, and human-robot collaboration and their associated limitations are reviewed and scrutinised. Unlike previous BCI safety reviews, this paper highlights the integrative role of Gen-AI in enhancing BCI systems through noise reduction, data augmentation, and self-supervised learning frameworks. Furthermore, a visual roadmap outlining short-, medium-, and long-term is proposed based on the challenges identified in Gen-AI enhanced BCI systems. The findings are expected to assist researchers in understanding the current state of BCI development and to provide a perspective from which future directions can be formulated to advance construction safety management.

Edge computing mitigates the latency of traditional “on-site acquisition–off-site processing” workflows, enabling real-time structural safety assessment. This paper develops an edge-computing-based safety assessment system for shield tunnel linings, integrating sensors, inspection technologies, wireless sensor networks, and edge gateways. Coordinated gateway–sensor communication enables on-site data fusion and standardized processing for variable-weight fuzzy assessment. A lookup-table-based membership function achieved a 79× acceleration, 74 % lower memory use, and 34 % lower energy consumption. A lightweight multithreaded architecture improved image pre-processing by 60 %, while an optimized Kalman filter reduced latency and energy by 20 % and 36 %, respectively. A simplified Seasonal-Trend decomposition using Loess (STL)-ARIMA model enhanced forecasting efficiency by 14 %. Validated on Shanghai Metro Line 2 in China, the system enabled zone-level assessments within 243 s.

Predicting the trajectory of suspended loads is essential for proactive collision avoidance and improving situational awareness during tower crane operations. Existing approaches suffer from limited generalizability, simplified motion assumptions, and lack of real-time deployment. This paper presents a data-driven framework for 4D (3D + time) trajectory prediction using deep sequence models trained on realistic crane-operation data. A Unity-based simulation environment is developed to emulate rotary and linear encoders, and 29 participants operate the crane across randomized pick-and-place tasks, producing diverse motion trajectories. Six architectures — including LSTM-based Seq2Seq models with different attention mechanisms, ConvLSTM networks, and Temporal Convolutional Networks — under varying prediction horizons, temporal context, sampling rates, and sensor noise are evaluated. The Seq2Seq model with Temporal Attention achieves the best performance, with a mean 3D displacement error of 0.45 m on unseen logistic scenarios. A high-performing model is integrated into a real-time digital twin to provide feedback for operator training.
在塔吊运行过程中,预测吊载轨迹对于主动避免碰撞和提高态势感知能力至关重要。现有的方法受限于有限的通用性,简化的运动假设,以及缺乏实时部署。本文提出了一种数据驱动的四维(3D +时间)轨迹预测框架,该框架采用基于实际起重机操作数据训练的深度序列模型。开发了一个基于unity的仿真环境来模拟旋转和线性编码器,29名参与者在随机拾取和放置任务中操作起重机,产生不同的运动轨迹。在不同的预测范围、时间背景、采样率和传感器噪声下,评估了六种架构,包括基于lstm的具有不同注意机制的Seq2Seq模型、ConvLSTM网络和Temporal Convolutional networks。具有时间注意力的Seq2Seq模型达到了最好的性能,在不可见的物流场景下平均3D位移误差为0.45 m。将高性能模型集成到实时数字孪生模型中,为操作员培训提供反馈。

Residential building construction is increasingly challenged by labour shortages and limited funding. Modular prefabricated 3D printing concrete (3DPC) technology, integrated with digital design and automated construction, offers an efficient and standardised solution to the construction of residential buildings, and has seen emerging applications worldwide. This paper presents the process from architectural and structural design based on one digital model to 3D printing and assembly of a modular prefabricated 3DPC residence, incorporating a multi-scale numerical simulation method for structural analysis. The study identifies the primary limitation of modular 3DPC as the size constraints imposed by printing and transportation equipment. A case study in Hebei Province, China, demonstrates the practicality. Results indicate that under the most unfavourable conditions, the maximum stresses are within 1.3 % of the limit values, ensuring a high safety margin. The 3DPC residence demonstrates time and cost savings, with digital design optimizing coordination among structural, architectural, and MEP systems.
住房建设日益受到劳动力短缺和资金有限的挑战。模块化预制3D打印混凝土(3DPC)技术与数字设计和自动化施工相结合,为住宅建筑的建造提供了高效、标准化的解决方案,并在全球范围内得到了广泛的应用。本文介绍了模块化预制3DPC住宅从基于一个数字模型的建筑和结构设计到3D打印和组装的过程,并采用多尺度数值模拟方法进行结构分析。该研究确定了模块化3DPC的主要限制是打印和运输设备对尺寸的限制。以河北省为例,验证了该方法的实用性。结果表明,在最不利的条件下,最大应力在限值的1.3%以内,保证了较高的安全裕度。3DPC住宅展示了时间和成本的节省,数字化设计优化了结构、建筑和MEP系统之间的协调。
