A proof of concept application sensing technologies for managing proximity hazards on construction sites Silvia Mastrolembo Ventura, Paolo Bellagente, Andrea Rossi, Sara Comai, Alessandra Flammini, Stefano Rinaldi and Angelo L.C. Ciribini Pages 212-219 (2021 Proceedings the 38th ISARC, Dubai, UAE, ISBN 978-952-69524-1-3, ISSN 2413-5844) Abstract: Construction is among most dangerous industries safety workers. Due to dynamism typical sites, where labor, materials equipment resources are often in motion, collisions contact with moving machineries heavy represents one main problems. The study described this paper concerns preliminary development a warning system (PWS) activities, which based implementation situation awareness. Preliminary results, feasibility PWS its practical potential described, highlighting needs continuous monitoring process expectations about configuration. adoption Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology within scope paper. front-end loader an excavator taken into account analysis use case, considers differences between fixed variable geometries terms sensorisation. possibilities real-time position tracking labor both outdoor indoor conditions architecture settings discussed. Moreover, compliance requirements imposed by General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) described. Future works will validate context actual sites. Furthermore, factors be considered when implemented evaluated as far planning scheduling activities concerned.
