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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Joint-Level Vision-Based Ergonomic Assessment Tool for Construction Workers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction workers are commonly subjected to ergonomic risks. Accurate ergonomic assessment is needed to reduce ergonomic risks. However, the diverse and dynamic nature of construction sites makes it difficult to collect ...
Automatic Biomechanical Workload Estimation for Construction Workers by Computer Vision and Smart Insoles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction workers are commonly subject to ergonomic risks due to awkward working postures or lifting/carrying heavy objects. Accordingly, accurate ergonomic assessment is needed to help improve efficiency and reduce ...
