CSETIR—Construction Safety with Education and Training Using Immersive Reality


Case 13. A framework for construction safety management and visualization system (SMVS)

The proposal (of 2013) includes a visualization engine for the integration of all information.

Visualization engine is the hub of the SMVS that imports and exports external information such as BIM-based site model, safety information data, and sensor signal location data that is created in other software engines for its use in each system module.

Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 program environment has been employed considering the interoperability of data necessary to the system operation. All information from/to interfaces of the modules is displayed on visualization engine browser (VEB). It is a framework for a safety management and visualization system (SMVS) that integrates BIM, location tracking, AR, and game technologies. A prototype system has been developed and tested based on an illustrative accident scenario.


Software:
Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0, Visualization engine browser (VEB), risk identification interface (RII), location tracking system (LTS), location database (LD), user identification interface (UII), user database (UD), Revit
Hardware:iPhone, AP sensor, Computer, GPS , Mouse, Keyboard, Joystick
