Ant colony optimization-based model for construction site layout planning

Construction site layout planning (CSLP) is one of the most critical issues a project deals with from the beginning to the end. Different factors affect the optimal location of the construction site, including geographical location, safety, equipment, project use, etc. One of the most important factors is safety and considering it from different dimensions in the project. In previous studies, safety has been considered one-dimensional without risk analysis. In this research, an attempt is made to investigate the CSLP problem from the view of multi-objective optimization with the objective functions of increasing safety and reducing costs related to the risks that have occurred. The risks associated with temporary and fixed facilities and the geographical location of the project, which are caused by interactive flows and dangerous resources, were investigated. To solve the problem, meta-heuristic algorithms were used, considering that they align with complex problems and ant colony optimization (ACO). To confirm the case study model by examining the safety issues on-site based on the interactive relationship of multi-objective safety, CSLP was used in the research.
