Project description
The progress of construction sites is in many cases unexpectedly delayed by external influences, for instance weather, changes in the client's wishes or problems with residents. This may cause changes in the construction cycle. The detailed initial plans become invalid and it is required to immediately develop new plans taking the new circumstances into account.
Therefore this project will create the possibility to support this planning effort by a simulation of the progress of urban underground construction sites. This will provide a better knowledge base aiding the planning decissions. Compared to a-priori simulations it is required to capture the current state of the construction process. Furthermore the local cirumstances, like availibility of ressources, time and space, need to be taken into account. In order to be able to communicate the results of the simulations to everyone involved and detect possible planning errors, an additional mobile virtual reality (VR) system will be developed to visualize parts of the 4D-process. This research project is aiming to support urban underground construction projects by using innovative technologies and adapting the construction plan based on data obtained from the current state of the site.
