the creation and management of a construction project for buildings. The most well-known …

The aim of this paper is to present a broad perspective on applications dealing with 3D
building models and indoor navigation during an emergency. This is an immense topic …

Evacuation path planning is of significant importance to safely and efficiently evacuate
occupants inside public buildings. Current computer simulation methods carry out …

Ensuring a safe work environment is crucial for construction projects. It is essential that
workforce monitoring is both efficient and non-intrusive to the ongoing construction activities …

Humans more and more live in urban areas and spend the majority of their time indoors,
while buildings are becoming increasingly interconnected. Path planning in complex indoor …

Real-time location information between participants is critical but scarcely available during
fire emergencies, making response operations solitary and inefficient. To address the issue …

This study proposes an approach named automated determination of exit sign direction
(ADESD) to automatically determine the directions of building exit signs. ADESD generates …

The level of detail (LoD) concept in CityGML (City Geography Markup Language), which
indicates how closely the model mirrors its real-world counterpart, has been accepted and …

Accessibility diagnosis of as-built urban environments is essential for path planning,
especially in case of people with reduced mobility and it requires an in-depth knowledge of …

During fire emergencies, inadequate and inefficient information provision may delay life-
saving activities. To support emergency response, this study proposes an industry …
