Nowadays, many safety accidents are occurring at construction sites. Excavation accidents that concern construction machines are among the leading safety hazards in construction accidents. Therefore, the need for excavation experts is increasing. In this paper, an excavator simulator is presented for training human operators and for tasking in virtual earthworks. In this system, the operator controls a virtual excavator in a control station with a joystick, pedals, a graphic display, and sound effects.
