Abstract
To eliminate unsafe conditions and to reduce a number of accidents at construction sites, engineers and supervisors in charge should have knowledge related with the requirements of safety procedures and safety facilities of construction activities performed at high elevation. Since the level and amount of knowledge and experience depend on the person, engineers and supervisors should discuss various aspects of hazards and safety collaboratively. While supervisors should visit construction sites, they are usually too busy to pay a visit to site. Thus, an innovative approach is needed to provide the engineers and supervisors with a collaborative platform where some engineers are at the site and some supervisors are the office and where they can see the options of safety measures as well as the real construction site, for discussing safety measures. This study aims to develop a visualized and collaborative approach for simulating the construction activities operated at high elevation using Augmented Reality. This research is on-going and the prototype system is under development. The prototype will be tested at a real construction site.
