The traditional schedule management system provides project manager with analysis reports, such as progress control, earned value management and resource management, including schedule chart. However, the reports and functions in the traditional system are still limited in 2D concept. Recently, the scheduling method is using 4D concept that time of construction schedule is linked to space of drawings. This study presents the limitation of those systems and an improved method for developing 4D system through the comparative analysis of representative 4D systems that are developed up to date.

Plant project is a complex project that consists of civil engineering, building, mechanical and electronic works. The schedule management is one of important factors in plant project because the construction duration of the project is very short comparing with the other construction projects. Specially, 4D CAD system needs to visualize construction schedule information in those complex projects. This study suggests methodologies for improving 4D CAD functions by considering those project characteristics. To develop a plant 4D CAD system, this study includes to develop new functions by analyzing actual schedule information from the plant construction sites.

In the construction phase, the existing schedule management system by 4D CAD has been difficult to check for a status and progress of construction product in real-time because it simulates only VR (virtual reality) object based on a planned schedule. This study suggests a construction schedule management system by telepresence technique that can visualize progress status in real-time by using 4D CAD system based on remote monitoring. The telepresence methodology and system were developed in the study and they were verified for a railway construction project. The developed system can examine the status and progress of construction because it can compare 4D simulation based on planned schedule with real-time site images through web-camera.

Cost and schedule are the major concerns for the successful construction project management. The four dimensional CAD (4D CAD) integrating graphical data and scheduling data has also been an area of research interests for improving construction controls. In order to achieve the benefits from these areas in an integrated way, this study proposes a 4D-EVMS system for the owners. Managerial requirements for cost and schedule control for the owners are identified first. A 4D-EVMS model is then proposed which provides functional flexibility in order to enhance the efficiency of the system. Lessons learned and practical implications are briefly summarize.

In order to increase the practical usability of the virtual reality(VR)-based BIM object in the construction site, the difference between the virtual image and the real image should be resolved, and when it is applied to the construction schedule management function, it is necessary to reduce the image gap between the virtual completion and the actual completion. In this study, in order to solve this problem, a prototype of 4D model is developed in which augmented reality (AR) and 3D printing technologies are linked, and the practical usability of a 4D model linked with two technologies is verified. When a schedule simulation is implemented by combining a three-dimensional output and an AR object, it is possible to provide more intuitive information as a tangible image-based schedule information when compared to a simple VR-based 4D model. In this study, a methodology and system development of an AR implementation system in which subsequent activities are simulated in 4D model using markers on 3D printing outputs are attempted.

This study suggests a methodology for organizing functions of nD CAD model which 4D object is linked with cost and resource information. And the suggested model is composed of process analysis function of plant project based on visualized scenario analysis. That is, it is possible to manage effectively not only construction schedule plan, but also resource and cost information by integrating construction management information into nD CAD object. And the suggested model can be utilized as information of a effective decision-making tool through analyzing of optimal process scenario and sharing of an analyzed information.

In Korea, BIM technology is applied mainly to building construction projects, but is expected to be applied rapidly to civil engineering projects because the government is currently considering the mandatory application of BIM for infrastructure facilities. Because the infrastructure project is processed in a horizontal work area, the application of BIM technology is more useful in the schedule management of the construction phase than the interference management of the design phase. The 4D CAD system is a typical BIM technology applied to the schedule management in the construction phase, but the application to the actual project is limited due to the lack of practical functions. This study examined the functions of four representative 4D CAD systems commercialized so that the selection criterion can be provided according to the characteristics of the project, and suggests that the functions that should be improved to have practicability. As a result of functional analysis, the application characteristics of each system were analyzed and the user convenience was suggested. In addition, a linear 4D simulation methodology was developed to improve the functions applicable to civil engineering projects, and ways to improve the utilization of the infrastructure projects as the construction phase BIM were suggested. In railway and road construction projects, most activities, such as earthwork, bridges, and tunnels proceed along the distance axis in a horizontal space. Therefore, a linear 4D simulation method, in which an activity is expressed along a distance axis, can be more practically useful rather than a simple 4D simulation method with a Gantt chart.

In recent years, there have been many attempts to connect the latest RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology with EIS (Enterprise Information System) and utilize them. However, in most cases the focus is only on the simultaneous multiple reading capability of the RFID technology neglecting the management of massive data created from the reader. As a result, it is difficult to obtain time-related information such as flow prediction and analysis in process control. In this paper, we suggest a new method called 'procedure tree', an enhanced and complementary version of PathTree which is one of RFID data mining techniques, to manage massive RFID data sets effectively and to perform a real-time process control efficiently. We will evaluate efficiency of the proposed system after applying real-time process management system connected with the RFID-based EIS. Through the suggested method, we are able to perform such tasks as prediction or tracking of process flow for real-time process control and inventory management efficiently which the existing RFID-based production system could not have done.

This study attempts to develop a skeleton model to link construction schedule and 3D object for drawings in 4D system. Generally, the construction schedule and 3D object can be linked in 4D system by imported files which are made in specific S/Ws such as CAD S/W and scheduling S/W. Those methods have a difficulties for operating 4D data because extra work needs to link 4D data for each activity. This study develops a 4D model which the 4D data can be self-generated within the system. The suggested model can reduce the initial input data for new project by integrating schedule and 3D object in 4D system.
