Evolving History of Sustainable Project: Exploring Existential Meaning at the Agency Level
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Under the influence of a philosophical paradigm shift from modernism to late modernism, stakeholder participation in construction projects rose as a structural reformation of the distribution of power and to inhibit the ...
Assessing Hazard Anticipation in Dynamic Construction Environments Using Multimodal 360-Degree Panorama Videos
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Given the dynamic and complex nature of a construction site, the ability to recognize hazards in a surrounding environment is highly associated with worker safety. While many studies have examined the hazard identification ...
Impacts of Stress on Workers’ Risk-Taking Behaviors: Cognitive Tunneling and Impaired Selective Attention
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Working within one of the most stressful industries, construction workers face intensive stress loads that adversely affect safety and productivity. While different factors induce stress, time pressure and mental demand ...
Understanding Cognitive Anticipatory Process in Dynamic Hazard Anticipation Using Multimodal Psychophysiological Responses
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Given the dynamic and complex nature of a construction jobsite, workers’ safety is significantly connected to both their ability to efficiently scan their surrounding environment and their ability to anticipate and identify ...
Measuring the Impacts of Safety Knowledge on Construction Workers’ Attentional Allocation and Hazard Detection Using Remote Eye-Tracking Technology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Impact of Construction Workers’ Hazard Identification Skills on Their Visual Attention
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Eye-movement metrics have been shown to correlate with attention and, therefore, represent a means of identifying and analyzing an individual’s cognitive processes. Human errors—such as failure to identify a hazard—are ...
Productivity-Safety Model: Debunking the Myth of the Productivity-Safety Divide through a Mixed-Reality Residential Roofing Task
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Distractions theory and general practice have suggested that providing safe physical conditions will reduce task demands and thereby increase workers’ ability to develop highly productive and safe production systems. ...
Impact of Change Blindness on Worker Hazard Identification at Jobsites
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Due to the dynamic nature of construction sites, workers face constant changes, including changes that endanger their safety. Failing to notice significant changes to visual scenes—known as change blindness—can potentially ...
Understanding Construction Workers’ Risk Perception Using Neurophysiological Responses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the dynamic construction environment, workers’ safety heavily depends on their ability to effectively perceive and react to hazards. Accordingly, studies have assessed the status of workers’ risk perception using advanced ...
Impacts of Physical and Informational Failures on Worker–Autonomy Trust in Future Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Autonomous agents are increasingly becoming construction workers’ teammates, making them an integral part of tomorrow’s construction industry. Although many expect that worker–autonomy teaming will enhance construction ...
