Tower crane lifting by Loh, Weisong

“…In order to optimized the use of a tower crane and come up with a cost effective way and optimized the use of a tower crane, a Master–Slave Parallel Genetic Algorithm and implement the algorithm on Graphics Processing Units using CUDA programming is developed to calculate a lifting path plan. Currently this algorithm is under testing phase and it is necessary to do a physical trial with a scaled down tower crane model to test the integration of both software algorithm calculation and match to the physical crane lifting. …”
