Fast development of ubiquitous technology prompted the broadening of the related application area. Application of ubiquitous techniques and system into the construction sites may give us many benefits. There are always a lot of hazard situations in construction sites, and the falling is known to have the high accident rate. To prevent the falling, there has been a lot of efforts including safety education and use of safety gears. In this study, we designed, fabricated and tested a system that can monitor the worker's safety and location informations in real time by using the wireless technology of TOA and RSSI. We used ATmegal28 that is popular in the industrial equipments as MCU and NanoPan 5357 module from Nanotron and CC2500 chipset from TI for radio circuits. We also used 3-axis accelerometer and pressure MEMS sensors to obtain the environmental information, and therefore to aquire the informations of the worker's movement and altitude. We used Labview software from National Instrument to monitor and control the system. We developed the system to send the warning alarms to the server operator and the workers when the workers in the danger zone did not wear the safety hook.

목재가공용 둥근톱은 노동부 법률 산업안전보건법에 의거 유해위험 기계기구로 명시되어 있어 날접촉예방장치인 덮개를 설치한 후 사용하도록 되어 있다 그러나 둥근톱에 의한 사고는 매년 발생하고 있으며 그 원인의 대부분은 덮개를 설치하지 않은 채 목재를 가공하고 있기 때문이다. 건설현장에서 목수들이 덮개를 설치하지 않은 채 목재를 가공하는 원인을 고찰하고 적절한 대응 조치를 간구하여 작업의 편의성과 작업자의 안전성을 확보하는 일은 대단히 중요한 과제이며 또한 안전장치의 잘못된 사용과 안전장치의 결함으로 사고 발생시에는 근로자에게 미치는 파급효과가 대단함은 물론 왜곡되어 전파되는 특성이 있어 사고의 원인이 마치 안전장치의 사용 때문에 있는 것으로 알려지게 되면 대부분의 근로자들은 안전장치의 부착과 착용을 기피하게 된다. 따라서 작업의 편의성과 적합한 안전장치 및 올바른 사용관리가 무엇보다도 중요하다고 할 수 있다.(중략)

Earthworks are the fundamental steps in a construction job, and are mainly comprised of smaller tasks performed by construction machinery. The productivity of the construction job can be improved by optimizing excavation, filling, and other such operations. Earthworks involve a lot of mechanical work performed by the collaboration between various kinds of construction equipment, which in turn leads to higher fuel consumption. Actual earthworks depend mostly on the intuition and experience of the driver of the machines, thus leading to inefficiency and environmental problems caused by unnecessary emission of carbon, Recently automated and information-oriented technologies are consistently being researched towards the improvement of efficiency of earthworks in the construction industry. The present research involves the introduction and understanding of the decision-making elements of heuristics which can be applied to the earthwork planning. A method is also suggested for creating an effective work path for construction machine to perform task packages (TP) for cutting and filling processes. A simulation test is performed to verify the effectiveness of suggested methods in terms of space interference and total moving distance of construction equipment.

Since the Act on Punishment of Serious Accident has been implemented, the role of construction companies in safety and health and the responsibility of CEO are strengthened. However, serious accidents still occur. Due to population decline and young people's reluctance into the construction industry, the ratio of elderly workers and foreign workers is increasing at construction sites. In this study, a survey was conducted to identify differences in the perception of importance of smart safety technology among vulnerable groups such as foreign workers, elderly workers, and workers with health conditions. Vulnerable workers recognize the importance of smart technology in the fields of foreign language support, risk warning, and body wear monitoring, and the conclusion was drawn that smart technology should be expanded for vulnerable groups in the future.

The main goal of construction projects from the past has been enhancing efficiency by reducing cost and time. but, seeing the current condition of safety management of many construction companies nowadays, it is true that not much attention has been paid to safety management for a long time. However, there are paradigm shift from the cost and term of works to safety management in the construction industry, from this circumstance the safety management is evaluated more importantly. Though less accident happens compared to past, the accidents are getting greater because construction projects nowadays are bigger and more complex and monetary loss from the accidents are increasing. Also, the severity is getting greater and even fatal. For this reason, more improved safety management is very necessary. Therefore, we are to propose more efficient system for safety management in this thesis. Technical parts for developing system include many technique such as Real Time Locating system, and other techniques like Monitoring module based on BIM, Data Mart, Alarm are also applied together. Through this system, in the construction site, safety management is performed more effectively and widely because the system can manage the human resource and fluid situation. Also, safety manager can conduct more systematically and advanced safety management through human resource dominated safety management.

In construction sites, many accidents occur without supervisors during night work, early work, and lunchtime work outside of regular working hours. The purpose of this study is to measure the safety level of workers and to provide basic data for preventing accidents during vulnerable times by analyzing the opinions of expert groups on working conditions. Working conditions were divided into four areas: basic conditions, physical environment, social environment, and physiological factors. After examining the correlation between the priority considerations determined by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the safety level of workers investigated in advance, management plans for each factor was derived.

In this study, we analyzed the safety accidents that occurred in the apartment construction site and the correlations between the victims according to the type of work accidents through multiple correspondence analysis. There is a lack of disaster-related studies on apartment construction sites, the third most frequent building type in Korea, and most of them have used survey techniques. Therefore, the exploratory data analysis was conducted in industrial accident cause data, and derived the correlation analysis between each disaster victim through multiple correspondence analysis. The results of the study are summarized in two as follows. First, as the number of heights increased due to the high rise and complexity of apartments, the fall rate and mortality rate were high. In addition, deaths are mostly caused by very few experienced workers or those with more than 10 years of experience, resulting from safety training, lack of experience, and insensitivity to safety. Second, multi-correspondence analysis showed that most safety accidents can be prevented by wearing safety equipment, and following proper work process and its safety action. The key factors derived from this study can be used for safety education, supervision, and management in apartment construction sites.

Earthwork is to level or excavate the ground to provide a space for installing structures. A large number of construction equipment such as excavators, dozers, and dump trucks are put into the earthwork operation. The equipment operators need to constantly communicate with each other during the operation. In the earthwork operation, therefore, the process should be analyzed on the equipment operation to improve the effectiveness of communication. The objective of this study is to understand the earthwork process, and improve the effectiveness of data interface by adopting the smart glass technology. In the study, the general process of earthwork is modeled using a process diagram. The data that is generated during the process is modeled using a class diagram. A database is developed to store and reuse the data. The smart glass technology is adopted to develop a data interface during the earthwork operation. The result of the prototype showed that the technology can improve the data interface during excavation overcoming the shortcomings of hand or sound signals.

국내 산업재해 사고 사망자의 상당수가 건설업에서 발생하고 있다. 건설 현장에는 굴삭기, 크레인과 같은 중장비가 많고 높은 곳에서 작업하는 경우가 흔해 위험 요소에 노출될 가능성이 높다. 물리적 사고 외에도 작업 중 발생하는 미세먼지에는 여러 유해 인자가 존재하여 건설근로자들에게 호흡기질환과 같은 직업병을 유발한다. 정부에서는 산업현장 안전 관리의 중요성이 증가함에 따라 각종 산업재해로부터 근로자를 보호하기 위한 법안을 마련하였다. 따라서 건설 현장의 경우 산업재해를 방지하기 위해서 위험요소를 사전에 인지하고 즉각 대응할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 인공지능(AI)과 사물인터넷(IoT)을 통한 자동화 기술을 활용하여 24시간 안전 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 IoT 기반 통합안전 관리 시스템은 AI를 적용한 CCTV를 통해 산업 현장을 모니터링하고, 다수의 IoT 센서가 측정한 수치를 근로자 및 관리자가 실시간으로 확인할 수 있게 하여 산업 현장 내 안전사고를 예방한다. 구체적으로 어플리케이션을 통해 미세먼지 농도, 가스 농도, 온도, 습도, 안전모 착용 여부 등을 모니터링할 수 있다. 모니터링 중에 유해물질의 농도가 일정 수치를 넘기거나 안전모를 착용하지 않은 근로자가 발견될 경우 근로자 및 관리자에게 경고 알림을 발송한다. 유해물질 농도는 IoT 센서를 통해 측정하며 안전모 착용 여부는 카메라 센서에 딥러닝 모델을 적용하여 인식하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 통합안전관리시스템을 통해 건설현장을 비롯한 산업현장의 산업재해 감소와 근로자 안전 증진에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
