“…As drones become easier to use, as well as cheaper and safer, the number of practitioners continues to increase (+8.5% recreational registration to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) between 2019 and 2020). [3] Some of the commercial applications already in use include in construction [5,51], policing [28], fire fighting [7,44], delivery [32], and more. It thus does not seem far fetched to predict that for many people, it might soon seem normal to interact with drones on a daily basis.…”

“…The application of drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), has dramatically grown in the construction industry. This includes project planning, progress monitoring, job site inspection, structural health monitoring, and maintenance assessment (Albeaino et al 2022b). Using drones in construction brings various advantages, such as the capacity to complete tasks more quickly, safely, and inexpensively (Rachmawati and Kim 2022).…”

Utilizing drones on construction sites could put workers who are already in dangerous environments into even more risky situations. Therefore, researchers have explored the safety challenges and their countermeasures regarding drone integration into construction sites. This study proposes using a 360- degree virtual reality (360VR) training environment to educate construction professionals on the safety concerns that drones could pose and how to work safely on a drone-populated site. This study specifically focuses on the knowledge gap of how trainees’ backgrounds, such as construction experience, work experience with drones, and prior understanding of drones, could be associated with the effects of the training. This study created comprehensive pedagogical intervention content using 360VR, followed by a user-centered pre- and post-experiment. After training, participants’ knowledge levels improved by 41% on average. Furthermore, the results indicate that trainees’ construction experience and job experience with drones were not associated with their knowledge levels. Moreover, those with lower levels of understanding about drones significantly improved their knowledge scores after the training. The result shows that trainees with different knowledge about drones may be suitable for trainings with different levels of difficulty.

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operations has advanced efficiency, safety, and decision-making. This study addresses critical gaps in UAV methods, including insufficient integration of human factors, operator variability, and the lack of systematic error analysis. To overcome these challenges, a novel approach combines the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with three core human factors models: the Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (OODA) loop, the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), and the SHELL model. An online survey was conducted across diverse UAV operator groups to prioritize critical factors within each model. Additionally, real-time monitoring of heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and respiratory rate (RR) was conducted during UAV operations at various automation levels with different experience levels. Visualization through boxplots and percentage change matrices provided insights into operator stress and workload across automation levels. Integrating AHP findings and physiological data revealed significant differences in operator prioritization, highlighting the need for tailored AI-UAV strategies. This research combines survey data with real-time physiological monitoring, offering visions into optimizing human-AI interaction in UAV operations and providing a foundation for improving AI integration and operator strategies.
