Minority Research Initiation: Development and Evaluation of A Computer Animation Research Testbed for Construction Site Operations

这项持续研究的目的是开发一种用于建筑工地布局和运营优化的动画(模拟)技术。将开发一种试验性三维图形工具，用于评估计算机动画在建筑工地活动中的价值；即，对用户活动和资源利用情况进行量化报告。这种报告能力将使对计算机动画功能的科学评估成为可能。它还将作为一种教育工具，可用于教学目的以及确定未来的建筑工地研究问题。

The purpose of this continued research effort is to develop a animation (simulation) technique for construction site layout and operations optimization. A experimental 3-D graphics tool will be developed for use in assessing the value of computer animation in construction site activities; that is, quantitative reporting of user activities and resource utilization. Such reporting capability will make possible the scientific evaluation of computer animation functionality. It would also act as an educational tool that could be used for pedagogical purposes as well as to identify future construction site research problems.
