Exploring the Quantitative Impact of Localization Accuracy on Localization-Based Safety Monitoring’s Performance on a Construction Jobsite
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction industry continues to be one of the industries with the highest accident rate. With the recent advancement of computing and sensing technologies, more efforts have been made in the field of context-aware ...
TableGraph: An Image Segmentation–Based Table Knowledge Interpretation Model for Civil and Construction Inspection Documentation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: There are many manuals and codes to normalize each procedure in civil and construction engineering projects. Data tables in the codes offer various references and are playing a more and more valuable role in knowledge ...
Impact of Age on Construction Workers’ Preattentive and Attentive Visual Processing for Hazard Detection
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The growing number of older workers affects occupational safety in the context of the construction industry’s aging workforce. The first step in proactively reducing safety accidents is hazard detection, which involves ...
Effects of Physical Fatigue on Construction Workers’ Visual Search Patterns during Hazard Identification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Physical fatigue is a frequent factor in construction workplaces that threatens workers’ safety. This study examines whether fatigue alters visual search patterns adopted by workers during hazard identification, thereby ...
Interorganizational Diffusion of Prefabricated Construction Technology: Two-Stage Evolution Framework
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Prefabricated construction (PC) is considered to be a low-carbon construction method in most cases, and PC technology drives advances in PC. The interorganizational diffusion of PC technology transcends organizational ...
Location-Aware Sensor Data Error Impact on Autonomous Crane Safety Monitoring
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Emerging sensing technologies offer a solution to improve jobsite safety performance by providing location information to determine a worker’s safety situation regarding proximity to dangers. However, due to the imperfections ...
Monocular Vision–Based Framework for Biomechanical Analysis or Ergonomic Posture Assessment in Modular Construction
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Awkward and improper postures and motions reduce productivity and increase project costs in the modular construction industry. Ergonomic assessment is essential to identify, mitigate, and prevent these postures for safety ...
Development Strategy Optimization for Off-Site Construction Projects: Synergy of the Government and Developers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Off-site construction (OSC) has received increasing attention worldwide, given its advantages over conventional counterparts. However, the performance of OSC’s practice has yet to be improved, despite the significant policy ...
Identifying Effective Collaborative Behaviors in Building Information Modeling–Enabled Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Collaboration tightly relates to the effective management of construction projects. Especially for building information modeling (BIM)-enabled construction projects (BECPs), collaboration is the prerequisite for effective ...
Working in Hostile Environments: Exploring the Effect of Job Stressors on Expatriate Adjustment in International Construction Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Expatriates employed to work on international construction projects face high levels of stressors in the workplace, and adjustments often need to be made to improve their job performance. We investigated whether and how ...
