The following software systems were developed by faculty and students in the Construction Engineering & Management program at the University of Michigan. To learn more about each package and download the corresponding software and documentation, click on a link below:


VITASCOPE - An open, loosely-coupled, user-extensible 3D animation description language designed specifically for 1) visualizing simulated construction processes and resulting products in 3D; and 2) developing higher-level construction visualization tools. VITASCOPE is an acronym for VIsualizaTion of Simulated Construction OPErations.

Stroboscope - Simulation programming language and system based on activity scanning and activity cycle diagrams for modeling complex processes in a variety of application areas. Runs under Windows (95, 98, NT).

UM Cyclone - Discrete-event simulation system for construction operations based on activity scanning and activity cycle diagrams. Runs under DOS (and Windows 95, 98, NT).

CPM Level - CPM scheduling and resource leveling program for Windows based on an enhanced version of the Minimum Moment Method (MOM). Runs under Windows (3.1, 95, 98, NT).

ACTS - The Advanced Construction Technology System (ACTS) is an information storage and retrieval system for emerging construction technologies.
