The authors have developed a three-dimensional (3D) transport simulation system that utilizes point cloud data and BIM/CIM information to improve productivity and quality in transport planning. The system reproduces the time-based movement of transport vehicles along the planned route together with the actual conditions at the scene in three dimensions. This enables users to visually identify potential interference between vehicles and surrounding structures. Applied to various construction sites in residential areas, and wind-power and other facilities, the system has assisted in making decisions on vehicle selection, route feasibility, and safety planning. This report outlines the features of the system and presents use cases in multiple projects.
