RISIdentifying Safety Hazards Using Collective Bodily Responses of Workers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current construction hazard identification mostly relies on safety managers’ ability to identify hazards using their prior knowledge about them. Consequently, numerous latent hazards remain unidentified, which poses ...
Importance of Operational Efficiency to Achieve Energy Efficiency and Exhaust Emission Reduction of Construction Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction operations generate significant air pollutant emissions, including carbon emissions and diesel exhaust emissions. Controlling operational efficiency is the most important strategy for reducing air pollutants ...
Understanding Occupants’ Physical Distancing Behavior for Safer Facility Operation under COVID-19 in the Context of Educational Facilities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the role of facility managers in controlling and limiting the spread of the virus among facility occupants is critical. To enable facility managers to design and evaluate the effectiveness ...
Reducing Risk Habituation to Struck-By Hazards in a Road Construction Environment Using Virtual Reality Behavioral Intervention
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Repeated exposure to hazards in road construction work zones often generates worker habituation to risks associated with those hazards, a key causal factor in workplace accidents. Understanding the developmental process ...
Major Factors Influencing Safety Knowledge–Sharing Behaviors of Construction Field Workers: Worker-to-Worker Level Safety Communication
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Construction projects are known for their dynamic and everchanging nature, characterized by frequent adjustments and temporary durations. Consequently, workers must be aware of evolving hazards and promptly share safety-related ...
LaserDex: Improvising Spatial Tasks Using Deictic Gestures and Laser Pointing for Human–Robot Collaboration in Construction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the context of the unstructured and fast-changing construction environment, the adaptability of robots to human improvisation is crucial. However, existing construction robots are limited in understanding spatial goals ...
Potential AI-Driven Algorithmic Collusion and Influential Factors in Construction Bidding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly aiding human decision makers in construction bidding processes by analyzing competitors’ bidding patterns. However, concerns are emerging about the potential for AI-driven ...
HangCon: Benchmark Data Set for Enhanced Detection of Hanging Objects in Construction Sites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lifting operations on construction sites pose significant safety risks due to the potential hazard of falling objects. Effective monitoring of hanging objects is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring worker safety. ...
Comprehensive Fall-Risk Assessment of Construction Workers Using Inertial Measurement Units: Validation of the Gait-Stability Metric to Assess the Fall Risk of Iron Workers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In construction worksites, slips, trips, and falls are major causes of fatal injuries. This fact demonstrates the need for a safety assessment method that provides a comprehensive fall-risk analysis inclusive of the effects ...
