1 Intelligent Decision Support System for Construction Project Monitoring Muhammad Naveed Riaz Faculty of Computing Riphah International University Islamabad, Pakistan. Abstract Business Monitoring is a complex task and it has been noted that most of the reporting and analysis time is being spent on collecting data from the various systems. Over the past decade, a lot of research has been reported on Decision Support Systems (DSS) used in many fields. To improve the decisionmaking ability of an enterprise in construction management, information technology is being applied in each step of construction management. The problem is to organize and analyze the data in construction management to obtain quick analysis and decision support results. Various Data mining techniques have been used for clustering of data by using case examples. In this research we have applied Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) to classify projects in one of the given categories and conducted a comparative analysis by using standard algorithm. A number of case examples have been used to verify the results and to obtain a comparison between various methodologies. Keywords-component; Decision Support Systems; Learning Vector Quantization; Business Intelligence; I. INTRODUCTION In business, Decision Support Systems (DSS) are usually employed for the analysis of data to find solutions or strategies that are useful in effective decision making. Knowledge base is intelligent component used in IDSS to suggest some useful activity in the human decision making process, that can make DSS supporting to decision makers [1]. One of the most important features which derive construction from other processes is the difficulty of the processes with a number of stages includes in construction which needs to be properly managed and addressed [2]. In most of the construction projects it is hard to supervise the projects without an effective project monitoring system because the projects may be spread over large area, needed strict time lines and multiple decision makers present in different locations. There may be thousands of projects running simultaneously and each project has its own timeline which has to be monitored properly and timely. The research and development on intelligent decision support systems for construction management can be done by using the Data Mining Techniques (DMT) and neural networks which offers possible solutions to these problems. The objective of this research is to design such an intelligent decision support system for construction project monitoring that is helpful to provide a strong base for organizational decision makers to Syed Afaq Husain College of Computer Science & IT King Faisal University Saudi Arabia. drafaqh@gmail.com take the right decision in a timely manner for the enhancement of business. II. CURRENT WORK The ongoing research on IDSS suggests that DSS are rarely applied at organization level and very occasionally applied in a construction branch [3]. Data Mining (DM) is one of the most renowned tool which is used in BI for the extraction of hidden information from the databases [4]. The data mining phase covers selection and application of DM techniques, which are initialization and calibration of useful parameters to find optimal values [5]. The intelligent decision support system for bridge monitoring is based on case-based reasoning which needs visual inspection of data and non destructive testing [6]. The DSS are rarely used in Neural Networks and has been successfully applied to a wide range of real-world construction applications, such as (Mohan, 1990): cost management, quality control, signal processing, credit rating, sales forecasting, modeling, quality control, portfolio management, targeted marketing and education, finance, etc [3]. The LVQ (Linear Vector Quantization) network with fuzzy feedback function algorithm can not only unfold the features of water resource requirement after the historic data analysis, but also generate new input data with some reasonable problem resolves, which makes the algorithms with feedback and evolvement scheme [7]. Various Clustering algorithms have been used now a days but no comparative study for their utilization in construction management is available. LVQs and support vector machines have been utilized for effective clustering in various fields but their performance for data mining in construction management needs to be evaluated against other standard techniques. DMT can be applied on the historical data stored in database to identify similar problems and classify the problem into relevant category based on its similarity. A web based application on intelligent decision support system for construction project monitoring (IDSSCPM) was designed and developed to cater to the problematic data sets of construction projects into the relevant category which are known as problem scenarios e.g stuck projects, latest or ongoing projects, delayed or behind schedule and completed projects etc. The Figure1 is composed of stuck projects running in the field area. The stuck projects are those projects which are /12/$ IEEE
2 stuck in the field due to some reason which includes Work not Started yet, No Activity at Site, Land Issue and Contract Terminated. The construction management requires the dynamic analysis of projects by visual representation and timely decision making is needed to complete these projects within the required time duration. Figure 1 Stuck Project. III. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY In order to address the defined problem scenarios mentioned above, an Intelligent Decision Support System for Construction Project Monitoring (IDSSCPM) has been proposed for constantly monitoring the projects of construction. If the user wants an analysis of the problem scenario, the IDSSCPM system shall perform data mining techniques on the historical data stored in the database to identify similar problems and categorize the problem into the relevant group. The proposed system shall identify the problems if and when they occur and raise flags as discussed previously. The proposed system architecture is shown in Figure 2 below. the most complicated and difficult part lies in knowledge gain, inference and natural language processing system [8]. The latest research on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) indicates that ANN is used to enhance the capabilities of the intelligent decision support system [4]. Data mining techniques provides Clustering as a method for grouping of similar data. The LVQ algorithm is used to form the clusters. The LVQ is a type of competitive learning neural network such as the Self- Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm for unsupervised learning with the addition of connections between the neurons. LVQ network belongs to the competition neural network which includes the input layer, competition layer and linear output layer [9]. In the first phase the LVQ neural network does not need to normalize the input vector and in the second phase it only need to calculate the distance between the input vector and the competition layer directly [10]. The learning algorithm can analyze and clusters the construction data (Case Examples) to find the trend analysis which are further helpful for decision making. The objective of the study is to provide a system based on the neural network (LVQ algorithm) for clustering of data which provide the detail analysis of construction projects. The LVQ algorithm is selected and implemented using MATLAB which is used to extract the Clusters. The modified LVQ for update of weight vector used is: w j (new)=w j (old) + (α (Iteration) * (x - w j (old))) The parameters and values taken for the LVQ algorithm are as fallow: 1. Weight Initialization Method = SOM 2. Number of Training Vectors = Learning Rate α = Total Number of Learning Iterations = 100 The algorithm performs clustering on the construction projects to form clusters. The results of three case studies are applied e.g. stuck projects, behind schedule or delayed projects, progress satisfactory or completed projects. The analysis of the projects is shown graphically according to progress percentage of projects and the number of projects in each cluster. The analysis is also shown as districts wise and construction activity wise for trend analysis of different projects. Microsoft Clustering algorithm is also used to form the Clusters for the comparative analysis with LVQ Clusters. IV. RESULTS & ANALYSIS: Figure 2 Architectural View of Proposed Methodology. DSS with neural network provides a new dimension for the development of DSS with the traditional AI, in which A.

6 and fine tuning of the learning algorithm. It is concluded from the results that the Clusters extracted from the LVQ are more flexible and dynamic then the results extracted from Microsoft Clustering. So, IDSSCPM aids the decision maker in effective decision making by providing them useful information, by dynamic analysis of the projects. The results achieved so far have been encouraging for decision making. However, there is a need to extend the work to include prediction and forecast of projects as well. REFERENCES Figure 11 Clusters of Completed Projects w.r.t Construction Activity V. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS: The Microsoft clustering algorithm is selected for clustering of data sets for comparative analysis. The same data sets of stuck projects have been processed with Microsoft Clustering (BI Tool). Figure 12 Construction Activity wise Cluster Diagram. The clusters extracted from Microsoft Clustering are analyzed by the construction activity at which stage the projects are stuck, which provides the decision maker an effective analysis of projects as well. The Figure 12 shows the projects at stage of Contract Terminated mainly exists in Cluster5 and Cluster8. VI. CONCLUSION & FUTURE WORK The results obtained from LVQ algorithm have been compared with those obtained from the Microsoft Clustering. The Clusters extracted from Microsoft clustering are 10 where as the Clusters extracted from the LVQ algorithm is 5 which shows more flexibility and provides useful information. The LVQ Clusters obtained from the data sets is shown according to progress percentage of projects and the number of projects in each cluster. The LVQ results are flexible as (the clusters are shown by physical progress of projects, Districts wise Clusters, Construction Activity wise Clusters), and efficient because there is greater flexibility in the number of Clusters [1] Yang Bao, LuJing Zhang, Decision Support System Based on Data Warehouse, World Academy of Science, Eng. and Technology, [2] Sigitas Mitkus, Eva Trinkuniene, Decision Support in analysis of Construction Contracts, The 25 th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction.
