An Empirically Based Agent-Based Model of the Sociocognitive Process of Construction Workers’ Safety Behavior
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Workers’ unsafe behaviors have a substantial impact on construction safety. To regulate workers’ unsafe behavior, construction practitioners have mainly used formal controls (e.g., penalties). However, the formal ...
Methodology for Creating Empirically Supported Agent-Based Simulation with Survey Data for Studying Group Behavior of Construction Workers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction workers’ attitudes and behaviors are one of the most important factors of a construction project’s performance. As the attention paid to the impact of social influences and norms on worker behavior grows, ...
Role of Social Norms and Social Identifications in Safety Behavior of Construction Workers. I: Theoretical Model of Safety Behavior under Social Influence
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
EEG Signal-Processing Framework to Obtain High-Quality Brain Waves from an Off-the-Shelf Wearable EEG Device
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Investigating brain waves collected by an electroencephalogram (EEG) can be useful in understanding human psychosocial conditions such as stress, emotional exhaustion, burnout, and mental fatigue. Recently, an off-the-shelf ...
Impact of Social Network Type and Structure on Modeling Normative Energy Use Behavior Interventions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Occupant behavior has a substantial impact on the total energy consumption in buildings. To reduce consumption much work has been done investigating behavioral energy-use interventions (e.g., feedback). Being able to ...
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 ...
Construction Workers’ Group Norms and Personal Standards Regarding Safety Behavior: Social Identity Theory Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A number of researchers have proposed and demonstrated that worker behavior is one of the main factors in construction safety. Working within the parameters of worker safety awareness and behavior, many researchers have ...
Hybrid Simulation Framework for Immediate Facility Restoration Planning after a Catastrophic Disaster
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Since the effects of external conditions, such as limited resource supplies and poor working environments in damaged regions, are critical to facility restoration projects after a catastrophic disaster, a lack of understanding ...
Simulation-Based Assessment of Workers’ Muscle Fatigue and Its Impact on Construction Operations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
