Estimation of the excavator actual productivity at the construction site using video analysis

Abstract Current estimates of the actual productivity heavy construction machinery at a site are not supported by an appropriate and widely used methodology. Recently, for purpose estimating machinery, vision-based technologies used. This paper emphasizes importance presents way (i.e. research framework) to achieve it. Therefore, aim this is propose simple framework (SRF) quick practical excavator cycle time site. The refers maximum possible in real conditions. SRF includes use video camera analysis recorded videos using advanced computer program. In cases continuous application SRF, clear transparent base monitoring control earthworks can be obtained observed
