An integrated framework using Augmented Reality (AR) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) for enhancing the stakeholders' interaction in 4d modeling of linear projects

摘要: The project schedule is a critical factor in project success in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. An efficient schedule can develop a shared vision (i.e., understanding) among project stakeholders. The traditional construction industry uses paper documents such as Gantt charts to visualize the sequence of construction activities. However, it might be challenging for stakeholders to comprehend the schedule, particularly in large-scale construction projects (e.g., pipeline construction projects). The recent development of 4D modeling schedules (i.e., integration of Gantt charts and the 3D digital model) within the Building Information Modeling (BIM) environment has facilitated a better understanding of the project schedule. However, the process of developing 4D scheduled in large-scale linear projects is still demanding. Given that smartphones are becoming increasingly popular and widely …
