A proactive system for real-time safety management in construction sites

A labor consumption measurement system based on real-time tracking technology for dam construction site

“…As indicated above, owners and supervisors of construction projects have been positive about the need for the utilization of such technologies on construction sites. It is noted that their use would contribute to higher work performance and encourage better safety control and management [21] both remotely and in real time. To date, several tracking technologies have been demonstrated and are cited as follows: Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID), Global Positioning System (GPS), Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN or Wi-Fi) [27], UltraWide Band (UWB), Zigbee, and Indoor GPS.…”

“…Most studies focus on Health and Safety (H&S) management [19][20][21]. Some also discuss labor productivity management applications [22][23][24][25][26], but few studies have developed a product-level monitoring system for actual construction sites.…”

Proactive training system for safe and efficient precast installation

“…To date, several real-time location technologies have been tested, the most promising of these being Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) [9,10], Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) and Indoor GPS, and hybrid systems comprising combinations of two or more technologies [11,12] to cover a wide range of accuracy values and yard areas [13,14]. Although all these technologies can be used to monitor the movement of construction resources, they need to satisfy the following criteria in construction work [15]:…”

“…An Admin module involves the necessary administrative activities for PCMS training such as tag position, workers alerting and safety information records. Different categories of safety information corresponding to each activity, such as near misses in falling from a height and collisions between workers and vehicles are maintained in separate files [15]. Safety relevant data are recorded objectively and at any time.…”

A Real-Time Location-Based Construction Labor Safety Management System

“…As an effort to address this necessity, diverse research efforts have been conducted on visualization or location-based safety management (Teizer, Castro-Lacouture 2007;Chae, Yoshida 2010;Carbonari et al 2011;Chi, Caldas 2012;Lee et al 2012). For example, Carbonari et al (2011) developed a prototype for proactive construction safety management and real-time signaling of potential overhead hazards. Also, Lee et al (2012) developed radio frequency identification (RFID)-based real-time locating system (RTLS) for construction safety management.…”
