Pavement management, which is vital in road transportation and maintenance, is facing some troubles, such as high costs of labors and machineries, low detecting efficiency, and low update rate of pavement conditions by means of traditional detection ways. Benefiting from the development of mobile communication, mobile computing, and mobile sensing...
Globally, the occupational health and safety (OHS) of construction workers has long been a serious concern. To address this issue, there is an urgent need for an efficient means to continuously monitor the construction site to eliminate potential hazards in a timely manner. As robust and automated video and image information extraction and processi...
Construction jobs are more labor intensive than other industrial jobs. Safety problems caused by overworked bodies are common, and the supervision of construction workers is always flawed. In China, piecework has long been the common way to evaluate workers' workloads, because it is always inconvenient to obtain direct indicators. To improve this s...
Tower cranes are the most commonly used large-scale equipment on construction site. Because workers can’t always pay attention to the environment at the top of the head, it is often difficult to avoid accidents when heavy objects fall. Therefore, safety construction accidents such as struck-by often occurs. In order to address crane issue, this res...
This research on identification and classification of construction workers’ activity contributes to the monitoring and management of individuals. Since a single sensor cannot meet management requirements of a complex construction environment, and integrated multiple sensors usually lack systemic flexibility and stability, this paper proposes an app...
Supervising construction workers’ efficiency is a serious problem. It is still unsolved at construction sites, because workers’ efficiency is always inconvenient to get reliable data. To solve the problems, the construction workers’ activeness concept was proposed for the first time in order to specify the research work. A sensor app was made based...
