Construction industry has a relatively higher industrial accident rate than other domestic industries. Thus, to reduce the accident rate, researches on the methodology of worker's safety education combined with new technologies like IT technology have increased. In the light of workers' safety information provision, this study develops a VR(Virtual Reality)-based construction site using the BIM(Building Information Modeling) data. The target structures and geographical features are included in the VR-based construction site where the construction machinery model and worker model are also created using a game engine. For highly effective provision of safety information, video clips with suitable captions corresponding to working processes were made with proper screen directing. They should be appropriately connected to correct worker's operations to improve the work commitment level, sense of reality and inducement of interest. From this scenario, the 3D VR-based construction site, which can be experienced through a VR equipment, was created and in the same platform, the safety information was provided by the video clip combined with the suitable captions. Although the real construction site involves various requirements depending on field situation and the expertness and experience of workers are not consistent, the developed safety information provision based on the VR construction site is expected to effectively reduce the incomplete factors leading to construction accidents by improving the worker's perception of workplace safety.

Recently, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies are attracting attention as core technologies in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. These virtual and augmented reality technologies are being used in a variety of industries, including the construction industry, healthcare industry, and manufacturing industry, to innovate in communication and collaboration, education and simulation, customer service and reinvention of the customer experience. In this paper, VR-based experiential safety education was conducted for workers of shipbuilding companies in Ulsan city, and for them, the educational effectiveness such as immersion, site applicability, safety accident prevention, education satisfaction, overall performance, and safety behavior in VR-based safety experience education were measured. In addition, we examined whether the immersion of VR-based safety experience education affects site applicability, safety accident prevention, educational satisfaction, overall performance, and safety behavior. Furthermore, it was analyzed whether site applicability plays a mediating role in the relationship between immersion and safety accident prevention. As a result, it was found that the immersion of VR-based safety experience education affects site applicability, safety accident prevention effect, education satisfaction, overall performance, and safety behavior, and that site applicability mediates between immersion and safety accident prevention. Based on these results, we suggests a direction for the development of VR-based contents in the field of safety and health and the transformation of safety and health education in the future.

The BIM simulation systems involve inefficient aspects in delivering real world circumstances because they are operated in the virtual reality (VR) environment without representing the job-site operations. Differently from VR, augmented reality (AR) enhances the reflection of job-site reality to virtual environment. AR influences architecture, design and construction. This reality replaces or merges with the normal physical world and it can be tailored to enhance comprehension for specific design and construction activities. The main objective of this research is to develop an AR-based decision support system for free-form buildings design/construction/maintenance processes. Haewoojae, a free-form housing building built in Seoul area is identified as a model building to generate the system. Seventeen engineers, who are masters or doctorate graduate students at the S university in Seoul and have been working in the Korean construction industry for more than 10 years are invited to validate the system's appropriateness and usability in comparison with its development objectives.

A construction site is a highly complex and constantly changing environment, where hazardous areas are difficult to detect if workers lack sufficient knowledge and awareness. Thus, frequent worker safety training is required. Numerous studies on using virtual reality (VR) for safety training were published. While they demonstrate the potential for improving the skills necessary to avoid accidents in the construction industry, they remain difficult to apply at actual construction sites. VR requires specialized hardware and software, limiting workers' access and restricting workers' participation in training sessions. As a result, this paper proposes multiple platforms for immersive virtual reality safety training (VRMP) based on Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and web technologies such as immersive web (WebXR). The VRMP is compatible with mobile and desktop devices currently by workers and demonstrates scenario models familiar to workers. Also, it reduces development time by utilizing Building Information Models (BIM). Additionally, The VRMP collects data from workers in a virtual environment to assess each worker's safety level, assisting workers in effectively and comfortably gaining a better understanding and raising their awareness. This paper develops a case study based on the VRPM in order to assess its effectiveness.

Recently, a growing number of accidents have taken place at construction sites, causing serious casualties. To prevent accidents or minimize damage, it is necessary to develop the safety precautions education is essential. However, the effects of safety education do not have as much effect as the importance of safety education. so As a new direction, we are looking forward to effective education by simulating realistic environments using VR. The safety training method used to experience and learn dynamic situations in a limited room wearing HMD is combined with VR. It will be the start of the construction industry going forward.

Historical construction health and safety (H&S) challenges, in terms of a range of resources and issues, continue to be experienced, namely design process-related hazards are encountered on site, workers are unaware of the hazards and risks related to the construction process and its activities, activities are commenced on site without adequate hazard identification and risk assessments (HIRAs), difficulty is experienced in terms of real time monitoring of construction-related activities, workers handle heavy materials, plant, and equipment, and ultimately the experience of injuries. Given the abovementioned, and the advent of Industry 4.0, a quantitative study, which entailed the completion of a self-administered questionnaire online, was conducted among registered professional (Pr) and candidate Construction H&S Agents, to determine the potential of Industry 4.0 to contribute to resolving the challenges cited. The findings indicate that Industry 4.0 technologies such as augmented reality (AR), drone technology, virtual reality (VR), VR based H&S training, and wearable technology /sensors have the potential to resolve the cited H&S challenges as experienced in construction. Conclusions include that Industry 4.0 technologies can finally address the persistent H&S challenges experienced in construction. Recommendations include: employer associations, professional associations, and statutory councils should raise the level of awareness relative to the potential implementation of Industry 4.0 relative to H&S in construction; case studies should be documented and shared; tertiary construction management education programmes should integrate Industry 4.0 into all possible modules, especially H&S-related modules, and continuing professional development (CPD) H&S should address Industry 4.0.

건설현장에서 가상현실 BIM객체의 활용성을 높이기 위해서는 실제 이미지와의 이질감을 해소시켜야 하며, 공정관리 분야 적용시에는 가상현실 공정모습과 실제 공정모습간의 괴리감을 감소시킬 필요가 있다. 연구에서는 이러한 부분을 해소하기 위해 AR (Augmented Reality)과 3D 프린팅 기술이 연계된 4D 모델기반 공정관리 시제품을 구성하여 두 기술이 연동된 4D모델의 활용 가능성을 검토한다. 입체적인 3D 출력물과 AR객체를 접목하여 시공 공정 시뮬레이션을 구현하면 단순한 가상현실기반 4D 모델과 비교시 실체적 이미지기반의 정보로 보다 직관적인 공정 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 이를 위해 연구에서는 3D 프린팅 출력물에 마커를 이용하여 후속공정이 4D 모델로 시뮬레이션되는 AR구현 체계의 방법론 및 시스템 구성의 적정성을 검토한다.
