    Real-Time Project Productivity Tracking System: Practical Case in Smart Construction Projects
    (School of Built Environment, Massey University, 2022-02-17) Radman K; Babaeianjelodar M; Lovreglio R; Wilkinson S; Ghazizadeh E; Shahzad WM; Rasheed EO; Rotimi JOB
    Motivation: The productivity and progress tracking systems are currently used in construction projects to acquire the site works data and converting to various digital reports. Knowledge gap: To date, capturing and transferring data processes are slow or inefficient because significant human errors occur in the process. Therefore, project managers can omit critical information, and no timely decision can be made related to delay and unproductivity. Aim and objectives: The purpose of this paper is to encompass a real-time project productivity tracking system to register data and manage delays related to an Electrical and Instrument service trade involved in smart construction projects in New Zealand. Research method: The paper aimed to review industries delay reports, use expert judgment experience, and compare the proposed method with current ones. Preliminary or anticipated findings: The finding shows the proposed method uses a combination of smartphone and Ms Project real-time monitoring software to optimise the current site reporting procedure and workflow of productivity managing. Research significance: The presented method should help construction decision-makers enhance time and cost-effectiveness and manage delay better alongside more effective decisions. Meanwhile, hours booked to collect data and update programs and models dropped by 24%.

    Prototyping an immersive virtual reality training system for urban-scale evacuation using 360-degree panoramas
    (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2022-01-01) Feng Z; Liu C; Gonzalez VA; Lovreglio R; Nilsson D
    Urban-scale evacuation may take place because of disasters or emergencies. Efforts have been made to enhance the preparedness of communities for urban-scale evacuation. For instance, wayfinding systems are installed and implemented in tsunami-prone regions, indicating the evacuation routes to high ground or inland. However, communities tend not to familiarise themselves with wayfinding systems and the best evacuation routes because tsunami evacuation drills are not normally carried out given the challenges to plan and run them. This study proposes a rapid development approach for immersive virtual reality (IVR) training systems suited to urban-scale evacuation. This approach utilises 360-degree panoramas to represent an urban environment in IVR, getting rid of the process of 3D modelling or reality capture to reconstruct a virtual urban environment. The 360-degree panoramas used in this study were directly acquired via a 360-degree camera. Immediate feedback is applied as a pedagogical approach to inform users. The training objective is to make users capable of identifying evacuation signs and the best evacuation route. This paper outlines a development framework to demonstrate the prototyping workflow of a 360-degree panoramic IVR training system suited to urban-scale evacuation. 360-degree panoramic IVR requires low levels of development efforts and computational resources. Therefore, urban-scale evacuation drills become possible to be rolled out easily and quickly to a wider population using 360-degree panoramic IVR.
