Über dieses Buch

This book expounds on the related technologies of intelligent transportation infrastructure construction. Based on the essential characteristics of intelligent construction, "perception, analysis, decision-making, and execution," the basic structure of intelligent construction technology (ICT) is established. With the integration of engineering construction technologies, the analyses of the essence of intelligent algorithms and the feasibility of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are provided. The book introduces the essential characteristics of Big Data and the Internet of Things and their relationship with engineering construction. On this basis, the feasibility and implementation plan of intelligent technology applications in design, construction, and maintenance are analyzed and demonstrated with engineering examples. The book also combines ICT with intelligent construction talent training, the professional knowledge required for intelligent construction, and the theoretical basis to provide the methods for mastering new technologies. This book can be used by technical personnel in related fields such as highways, railways, airports, and urban road construction to understand and master innovative, intelligent construction technologies. It can also be a reference book for ICT-related college courses.

Chapter 1. What is Intelligent Construction?
Abstract
This chapter first introduces the essential characteristics of transportation infrastructure, analyzes the relationship between modern information technology and engineering construction, and then introduces the origin and purpose of artificial intelligence from the perspective of the Turing test. Based on analyzing what human beings do, the essential characteristics of intelligent technology in various fields—“perception, analysis, decision-making, and execution”—P.A.D.E. are put forward, and the basic meaning of intelligent construction and the key technologies to be developed at present are given. Finally, taking highway engineering as an example, the main contents of the application of intelligent technology in the design, construction, and maintenance stages are analyzed, and the basic structure of intelligent construction technology of transportation infrastructure is established on this basis.
