Abstract
System simulation has proved to be an effective tool for planning and improving the performance of a construction process in many successful case studies. However, with the aid of a three dimensional (3D) visualization system, simulation technology will be engaged to its farthest-reaching potential. This paper presents a geographic information system (GIS)-based visual simulation method, in which system simulation techniques are integrated with visualization techniques. The GIS-based visual simulation system (GVSS) was developed by the authors. The GVSS is a simulation tool offering powerful planning, visualizing, and querying capabilities that facilitate the detection of logic errors in simulation models. The software also helps to understand the comprehensively complex modeled construction process, and is capable of organizing vast amounts of spatial and nonspatial data involved in simulation. A hydroelectric project, which will take place on the Yellow River in the northwest of China, is used as an exa...
