Topic 1:
- Optimizing the Planning of Precast Concrete Bridge Construction Methods to Maximize Durability, Safety, and Sustainability
- This study focuses on developing novel ML models to predict cost and durability of conventional and PC bridges; creating a practical DST to compare durability, safety, mobility, and cost of conventional and PC bridges; and developing optimization model to maximize bridge durability, and safety while minimizing its cost.
- Project PI, Professor Khaled A El-Rayes
Topic 2:
- Gaze-directed UAV-UGV Coordination Framework for On-site Quality Inspection of Precast Bridge Construction
- This presentation introduces a new gaze-directed UAV-UGV coordination framework for onsite quality inspection of precast bridge construction. A prototype was developed and tested in simulation and controlled environment. The system offers a unified and intuitive remote control interface for multirobot coordination, enabling efficient data collection and analysis for onsite inspection.
