• Description:
  Several improvements have been realized in visualizing construction project information through Building Information Modeling (BIM). The objective of this research is to provide a framework for near miss data collection and visualization within a BIM platform. A near miss database was created in commercially-available BIM design software to allow construction site personnel to report near misses and visualize them within an existing BIM. Algorithms were created to enable filtering for visualization based on user input properties of each near miss. A feasibility study for the created tool was conducted with an expert review panel of experienced safety managers. Contributions of this research include a near miss visualization user-interface allowing construction personnel to view near misses throughout a construction project to identify hazardous areas and frequency of near misses as well as a feasibility study data of the created tool.
