Proper position of a tower crane on a construction site is so important to be determined by an expert or an experienced construction manager who draws working range of a tower crane and moves it over a 2D (dimensional) site layout plan. But it is not usual to use 3D CAD, BIM or virtual reality for temporary facility planning or selection of a tower crane. This study proposes a method to use augmented reality to select proper position of tower cranes. An augmented reality prototype is implemented on a smart device to verify the practicability of the proposed method. }, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {7}, number = {10}, year = {2013}, pages = {704 - 707}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/16943}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/82}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 82, 2013}, }
