Abstract
This paper aims to present a visual simulation technique for improving construction site safety based on virtual construction environments (VCE). Additionally, the paper presents a framework to conduct true what-if analysis related to the safety of the construction site, and a case study for validating the presented methodology. This research will add a new dimension to be further investigated, through collaborative research efforts, with respect to the nD project initiated at the University of Salford in the UK.
Keywords: Construction site safety; virtual construction environments
