Spatial-temporal ( 4d) modeling is a promising technology for production planning with many positive impacts not reachable through the usage of traditional methods. Its benefits are better visualization of planned works, better communication among project stakeholders, and better coordination. 4dmodeling assists planners in detecting potential problems prior to production phase and thereby reducing reworks, waste anddelays peculiar to complex industrial projects. By simulating activities in spatial dimensions and across time, the planners can detect conflicts and avoid possible production problems. 4dmodeling tools currently available provide very basic functions to detect collisions among product elements. However, these tools are unable to detect more sophisticated conflicts caused by the absence of supporting or fastening elements nearby, the inability to deliver elements being installed to their eventual positions, the congestion of required workspaces. A complementary set of clash, join, path and workspace conflicts was introduced anddiscussed in our previous papers from an applied point of view. In this paper a holistic framework for spatial-temporal analysis of production schedules is presented. The framework is a family of mathematical models and computational algorithms intended to identify these conflicts. A particular attention in the paper is paid to the implementation of these algorithms using spatial-temporal indexing and collision detection techniques. Conducted computational experiments with large-scale industrial data confirm the efficiency of the framework that stipulate its introduction into emerging 4dmodeling tools. Such tools are expected to improve the spatial-temporal coherence, reliability and trustworthiness of production schedules.

Visual 4d modeling and planning technologies have recently begun to play a crucial role in the realization of complex construction projects and programs. They enable to improve communication and coordination among stakeholders and, thereby, to reduce risks and waste during the project implementation by means of simulation and visualization of project activities in space dimensions and across time. Modern project modeling systems possess some underlying functions for such purposes, but are still limited in reasoning capabilities necessary for automated validation of the project schedules in terms of their feasibility and absence of spatial-temporal conflicts. Basically, these are collisions and interferences of construction objects, missing collision-free paths to deliver the objects to destination positions in planned time, and invalid schedules leading to the objects hanging without any reliance. A software library providing advanced capabilities for spatial-temporal modeling and reasoning is presented in the paper. The library called Constructivity4d supports a representation of all of the core concepts in the scene modeling and possesses a wide range of operators and validation functions. The modeleddynamic scenes are suggested to be hierarchically organized with the objects obeying particular behavioral patterns. Being compliant with popular qualitative reasoning formalisms and relation algebras, the supported operators and functions can be combined to identify non-trivial spatial-temporal conflicts originated from the construction project validation problems. The paper discusses the design considerations of the library, its functionality, interfaces. Particular attention is also paid to applied computational methods and implementation details.
