Abstract

Purpose Construction safety is a crucial aspect that has far-reaching impacts on economic development. But safety monitoring is often reliant on labor-based observations, which can be prone to errors and result in numerous fatalities annually. This study aims to address this issue by proposing a cloud-building information modeling (BIM)-based framework to provide real-time safety monitoring on construction sites to enhance safety practices and reduce fatalities. Design/methodology/approach This system integrates an automated safety tracking mobile app to detect hazardous locations on construction sites, a cloud-based BIM system for visualization of worker tracking on a virtual construction site and a Web interface to visualize and monitor site safety. Findings The study’s results indicate that implementing a comprehensive automated safety monitoring approach is feasible and suitable for general indoor construction site environments. Furthermore, the assessment of an advanced safety monitoring system has been successfully implemented, indicating its potential effectiveness in enhancing safety practices in construction sites. Practical implications By using this system, the construction industry can prevent accidents and fatalities, promote the adoption of new technologies and methods with minimal effort and cost and improve safety outcomes and productivity. This system can reduce workers’ compensation claims, insurance costs and legal penalties, benefiting all stakeholders involved. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study represents the first attempt in Bangladesh to develop a mobile app-based technological solution aimed at reforming construction safety culture by using BIM technology. This has the potential to change the construction sector’s attitude toward accepting new technologies and cultures through its convenient choice of equipment.
基于bim的移动应用程序智能安全监控系统:正在进行的建筑工地案例研究
目的施工安全是一个对经济发展有深远影响的重要方面。但安全监测往往依赖于基于劳动力的观察,这很容易出错,每年都会导致大量死亡。本研究旨在通过提出一个基于云建筑信息建模(BIM)的框架来解决这一问题,以提供建筑工地的实时安全监控,从而加强安全实践并减少死亡人数。设计/方法/方法该系统集成了一个自动安全跟踪移动应用程序,用于检测施工现场的危险位置,一个基于云的BIM系统,用于可视化虚拟施工现场的工人跟踪,以及一个Web界面,用于可视化和监控现场安全。研究结果表明,实施全面的自动化安全监测方法是可行的,适用于一般的室内施工现场环境。此外,先进的安全监察系统的评估工作已成功推行,显示该系统在加强建筑地盘的安全措施方面有潜在的成效。实际意义通过使用该系统,建筑业可以预防事故和死亡,以最小的努力和成本促进新技术和方法的采用,并提高安全成果和生产力。该系统可以减少工人的索赔、保险费用和法律处罚,使所有相关利益相关者受益。创意/价值据作者所知,这项研究是孟加拉国首次尝试开发基于移动应用程序的技术解决方案,旨在利用BIM技术改革建筑安全文化。这有可能通过方便的设备选择改变建筑业接受新技术和新文化的态度。
