Development of a workspace conflict verification model for temporary facilities based on a VR simulation

Abstract

Conflict of temporary facilities, which is arranged in construction site, occurs frequently between their workspaces, due to unanticipated space requirements. And workspaces of temporary facilities that are executed within a limited area are not providing the experiential and the objective resolution strategies for physical collisions to manage conflicts among workspaces. To resolve these problems, this research develops a methodology and set of tools that capable of generating and defining 3D objects of temporary facilities workspace, and develops the heuristic model of rule-base inference to suggest conflict resolution strategies by each conflict type, integrated visualisation and interaction technologies. ? 2018 Esprit.
