Computer Based Algorithm for Optimizing Design and Construction of Large Transport Infrastructure Objectives

This paper aims to present a simple and original algorithm, completed by generating a dedicated software, performed for obtaining an optimisation of the typical engineering schedule graph established for a real highway segment, located in the West Region of Romania. The main issue for construction schedule was the interdependence and the time relations between all phases. The Critical Path of the whole construction sequence was designed by using the Ford Algorithm. By implementing this procedure, we obtained a more accurate operation overview in case of all major phases belonging to the construction engineering on site, by simply emphasizing the time correlations between all its phases and/or operations. This originally applied software sequence could be a very simple and easy to use tool for other engineering applications, in all industrial or construction domains.
