“…Meanwhile, the study of Kan et al (2018) deals with physical components and information flow in virtual space. This is a very interesting area for future research as it allows multiple in-situ data to be reflected in modeling in virtual space Azimi et al, 2011, Azuma et al, 2001, Costin et al, 2012, Irizarry and Costa, 2016, Lu et al, 2007, Naticchia et al, 2013, Ren et al, 2017, Stone et al, 1999, Teizer et al, 2010, Yang et al, 2014.…”

Progress monitoring is an important aspect of construction project control that is fundamental to proper project management and decision-making. Traditional monitoring methods are inaccurate, time-consuming, and labor-intensive because they rely on large-scale manual operations. The defect of the method has been identified as one of the major problems causing project delays and cost overruns. In recent years, a variety of emerging automated data collection, analysis, and visualization techniques have been used to establish methods for digitized, real-time progress monitoring, and there are several papers that address these methodologies and comprehensive reviews. Among them, the authors conducted a review of various studies focusing on how to apply the monitoring of construction equipment to project management. The authors selected the studies of interest using research databases such as Google Scholar and ScienceDirect. Then, the authors classified those studies by technology, purpose, and subject matter, and analyzed the details. Through a literature review, it was revealed that most of the studies were focused on digitalization and review of the lifted path for safety improvement, and few studies were conducted for progress management, such as collection and analysis of work results. In addition, the authors revealed that several studies use the combination of existing technologies with new modeling technologies such as BIM (Building Information Modeling). It was also clarified that the technology applied to the monitoring is not even one, but a combination of multiple technologies to achieve each objective. Furthermore, even in the case of monitoring construction equipment, the authors found that workers, construction materials, and even the activity itself are also monitored as well as construction equipment.

Space based construction metrology has a great potential for monetary and effort savings through the creation and use of open industry standards to support construction automation in space. Current technology for construction automation in space requires either one vendor to provide an entire solution, or an organization, such as NASA, to coordinate the efforts of vendors in tightly integrated projects that lock vendors in for the life of a facility. Open space based construction metrology standards could provide a means to promote competition over the life of a facility by supporting interoperability. LiveView is being designed to meet the goal of construction metrology automation, and may be applicable to special issues arising in an orbital workplace.

“…Lin and Haas (1996), Sivakumar et al (2003), and Ali et al (2005) have researched the use of multiple cranes. Due to the rapid development of computer graphics technology, O'Connor et al (1994), Liu (1995), Amatucci et al (1997), Bernold et al (1997), Stone et al (1999), Lipman and Reed (2000), and Simlog (2005) have been able to develop various simulation and visualization tools for crane operations. Peyret et al (2000), Cheng and Chen (2002), Navon and Goldschmidt (2003), Sacks et al (2005), and Lee et al (2006) have analyzed field data to monitor erection activities.…”

Numerical Methods to Simulate and Visualize Detailed Crane Activities

Virtual construction allows engineers to simulate and visualize construction progress on computer before commencing the real project and is becoming an important technique to manage fast-track and complicated construction projects. One major consideration for virtual construction is the simulation of the operation of construction equipment for a construction project. This research specifically focuses on developing a mathematical model to support the simulation and visualization of cranes, the most critical equipment in terms of project controls. This model is composed of two submodels-a kinematics model and a dynamic model. The kinematics model is to present the crane components controlled by the operators. The dynamic model is to present the dynamic behavior in suspended system (including the cable and rigging object), which cannot be controlled directly by the operators. To verify the feasibility of these methods, a computer program that simulates and visualizes detailed crane activities was developed. This program supports the real-time visualization of crane activities with high degree of reality accuracy and also, enables the detailed simulation of long-term construction projects.
