                            - The novel use of the genetic algorithm and simulation to guide complex multi-parameter processes has been adopted into other aspects of the construction process such as the bridge maintenance planning (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.autcon.2020.103513) and lighting maintenance (https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)CF.1943-5509.0001101). The key findings of the paper are highlighted by a state of the art review on optimization algorithms for construction site layout planning (https://doi.org/10.1108/ECAM-08-2019-0457) and it has been utilised and adopted in different disciplines such as  production line layout of automobile body shop  (https://doi.org/10.1109/ICSSSM.2017.7996213) and refining imperfect sensor data for simulation (https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)CO.1943-7862.0001441).
