Application the artificial neurral network in bid selection in accordance with Vietnam construction process

Abstract

Construction bidding procedures are affected by numerous factors. These factors are both the specific features of the projects and dynamically changed situations. Some of bidding decision is based on personal and past experience. Artificial neural network (ANN) is revealed a useful tool in dealing with complex and unstructured problems. A preliminary study on ANN and Vietnamese bidding regulations: 88/ND-CP, 14/ND-CP, 66/ND-CP was conducted to form a new software BIDDER SELECT. This academic and educational software may be a first step in application of artificial intelligence in VN construction engineering.
