Application of Collaborative Supported Frame Accurate Animation for Bridge Construction Project

During a civil engineering construction process many types of professionals are involved, such as engineers, constructors, designers, clients and so forth. To provide mutual understanding among construction workers and unify their ideas is necessary the creation of an effective presentation. In addition, the construction process have to work relatively in harmony with the situation of the construction site. Moreover, the use of Computer Graphics (CG) can help to visualize clearly sequences of the construction process, simulate changes in the execution of the project and make it possible to be carried out smoothly before the construction begins. The paper introduces the application of Frame Accurate Animation (FAA) as an important implement for the construction management. Also explains the use of FAA in an illustrative example of the Sashiki Bridge (provisional name) construction project in Kumamoto. Our main expectation is for the work environmental become more cooperative, efficient and safely.
