Site Progress Monitoring Using Mobile Crowd Sensing

Abstract

Monitoring of construction progress plays a very pivoting role in any infrastructural construction. One of the important issues in any construction activity is to know its progress status. Incorrect understanding of ongoing status can give rise to more added errors and mismanagement in the project. Normally, a project manager needs to move around the site so as to monitor the progress of the work done. In this paper, to avoid this time consuming process and in an effort to monitor the site progress in a Metro Environment, the concept of crowd sensing and image processing are considered as a whole. On the request from admin, the image of the construction site whose progress activity is to be verified is captured by the user, using Mobile Crowd Sensing (MCS). The image and location are sent to the central server. The image processing component attempts to match the captured image with the reference image. The system outputs the current bridge construction progress done. At the end, the accuracy of designed system is calculated and is proved to be factual.
