Abstract
A simulation system for vocational training of crane operation is presented in this chapter aiming to improve the lifting personnel’s operational skills and safety awareness. The system utilizes various types of ICT such as CAD modeling, Smart Plants, and Point Cloud. The stereographic rendering technique and multiple types of interactions supported by the system improve the level of realism for crane operation training. Interactive operation designed with the simulation system helps trainees to gain operation skills which hopefully will be translated to productivity in their work.
