Research on Information Sharing Incentive for Engineering Procurement Construction Project Under Intelligent Construction and Management Platform
Information sharing is one of the key factors improving the efficiency of project management of engineering-procurement-construction(EPC),while the application of intelligent construction and management platform can effectively improve the information asymmetry phenomenon in EPC projects,which is based on the building information model(BIM)technology,combined with cloud computing,artificial intelligence,Internet of Things and other technologies,can make the project carry out effective digital control over the cost,progress,quality,safety and other aspects in the whole life cycle.However,the enthusiasm for information sharing among general contractors in engineering practice is generally low,leading to the ineffective function of intelligent construction platforms.Addressing this issue,this paper takes the scenario of intelligent construction management platforms initiated by the owner as a specific context,and applies evolutionary game theory to construct a game model between the owner and the general contractor.The simulation studies on the strategic choices of both parties in the process of information sharing incentives are also carried out.The owner's strategic choices include encouraging or not encouraging the general contractor for information sharing,while the general contractor can choose active or passive information sharing.By varying different parameter values,the paper explores the impact of different parameters on the general contractor's information sharing behavior and the key factors influencing the strategic choices of both parties.The results reveal that the owner is more inclined to adopt incentive strategies,under the conditions of greater additional benefits and lower costs.Similarly,general contractors are willing to share information if the potential benefits of active information sharing are greater and opportunity benefits of passive information sharing are smaller.The maturity of the general contractor's application of intelligent construction management platforms and subsidies from the owner significantly affect the strategies of both parties.Based on this,it is suggested that the owner should combine material incentives with reputation incentives,adjust incentive strategies in a timely manner according to the different stages of platform application,and supplement them with appropriate penalty mechanisms in order to promote active information sharing among general contractors.
