Construction Activity Recognition and Ergonomic Risk Assessment Using a Wearable Insole Pressure System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Overexertion-related construction activities are identified as a leading cause of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among construction workers. However, few studies have focused on the automated recognition ...
Quantifying the Effect of Mental Stress on Physical Stress for Construction Tasks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Because of labor-intensive and physically demanding tasks, construction workers are known to be at a higher risk of developing physical fatigue. Recent studies have shown that construction workers are also often exposed ...
Examining the Barriers to the Adoption of IoT-Based Technologies in Green Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although the adoption of Internet of Things (IoTs) for green buildings (GBs) has attracted significant attention from researchers and practitioners in the construction sector, few studies have investigated the barriers to ...
Identification and Classification of Physical Fatigue in Construction Workers Using Linear and Nonlinear Heart Rate Variability Measurements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Several studies have analyzed heart rate variability (HRV) using nonlinear methods, such as approximate entropy, the largest Lyapunov exponent, and correlation dimension in patients with cardiovascular disorders. However, ...
