Abstract:

Application of visual simulation technique (VS) to assist in the planning and analysis of construction operations has become increasingly important in research community in recent years. Benefits of applying VS have been reported in several publications. Nevertheless, the effort required to design and construct an “appropriate” representative display for the system to be analyzed in a VS experiment is frequently time consuming and data intensive. The magnitude of this activity is often increased due to certain characteristics of construction operations, such as their complexity and the distribution of work over large areas. An alternative approach, DISCO, which employs a schematic modeling format reflecting the system dynamics on the computer screen during the simulation run is presented in this paper.
