Research has identified various beneficial capabilities for augmented reality technologies in the AEC industry such as virtual site visits, comparing as-built and as-planned status of projects, pre-empting schedule disputes, enhancing collaboration opportunities, and planning/training for similar projects. This paper provides an expanded foundation for future research by presenting a statistical review of augmented reality technology in the AEC industry. The review is based on articles found within eight well-known journals in architecture, engineering, construction, and facility management (AEC/FM) until the end of the year 2012. The review further narrows the literature within these journals by considering only those 133 articles found through a key word search for "augmented reality." The selected journal articles are classified within the following dimensions: improvement focus, industry sector, target audience, project phase, stage of technology maturity, application area, comparison role, and technology. The number of articles within these dimensions are used to identify maturing and emerging trends in the literature as well as to synthesize the current state-of-the-art of augmented reality research in the AEC industry. In summary, the AR literature has increasingly focused on the demonstration of visualization and simulation applications for comparison of as-planned versus as-built statuses of the project during the construction phase to monitor project progress and address issues faced by field workers. In addition, the future trend is toward using web-based mobile augmented systems for field construction monitoring.

“…Actual end users participated in a usability test to evaluate a developed user interface (UI) [9] for a tele-operated crane. In this test, a KUKA KR 16 robot arm was used as a crane prototype and four monitors displaying different angles of view (top, rightside, left-side, and global view) are also provided to remotely display conditions on the construction site model.…”

-The objective of this research is to develop, optimize and evaluate an approach for automatically generating rigging path guidance in order to provide sufficient assistance on the user interface of tele-operated crane. Besides operational safety and efficiency, this approach focuses on solving operability issues of following path guidance on a tele-operated crane system. To provide path guidance that can realistically be performed in a tele-operated rigging scenario, three factors are proposed for consideration in the development of such an approach: Visibility, Control Features, and the Dynamic Environment. A simulation platform in the virtual environment, called PathGuider, is developed for evaluating the use of the proposed path guidance considerations. Demonstrations for visibility and the dynamic environment issues have been performed and they show that the guidance path can be re-planned in realtime once the guided trajectories are being sheltered by surrounding buildings from operators' view or dynamic objects interfered with it. To evaluate the efficiency of the developed re-planning algorithm, a benchmark has been developed. The results show that the calculation time of cases considered are all within real-time span. The proposed path guidance approach reveals its efficiency and feasibility in providing useful assistance to tele-operated crane's operators.

“…However, a holistic synthesis of existing technologies and a framework outlining th International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (ISARC 2017) further development is missing. In addition, previous efforts in evaluating a crane assistance system mainly focused on measuring accuracy, reliability, and ease of use of the introduced technologies [8]. Very few emphasized on the system's effectiveness on helping the operators understand the situation and the safety risks [9].…”

-Equipment operators play an integral role in the safe and efficiency operation of heavy equipment. They observe the environment, understand the situation, and make decisions and actions accordingly. Compared with other types of equipment, operating a crane is more sophisticated and mentally demanding, and thus crane operators are more vulnerable to human errors. Therefore, special considerations to mitigate operator errors should be taken when designing an operatorassistance system for construction cranes. With the goal of improving the operators' situation awareness (SA) of safety risks, this research presents a technical framework and practical system architecture for an operator-assistance system by leveraging real-time motion sensing and 3D modeling of dynamic workspaces. An approach for evaluating operators' SA was proposed to validate the effectiveness of the assistance system in actual lifting operations. Results in a series of field tests indicated that the prototype system improved the operators' SA which resulted in an improved lift performance.
