Of the total 106,774 occupational accidents reported in the construction sector in 2019, 70 were fatal. These figures show that working in the construction industry is associated with high health risks. In order to reduce the occurrence of accidents on construction sites, this project aims to implement real-time position and movement monitoring of workers and construction machinery. The aim of the development is to create informative or automated assistance systems that recognise danger zones and warn of or avoid specific movements of construction machinery and people that could lead to dangerous situations. This scenario is comparable to the well-known assistance systems of the parking aid in cars, which has successfully reduced the number of accidents. Using the example of railway construction sites with active train traffic, a safety control centre is to be developed. The rapidly advancing digitalisation in the construction industry with existing information bases and new integration technologies - BIM models, automation, 5G, WLAN - will be chosen as a new solution approach.
The basis of the developments is a digital model that passively maps the events on the construction site in real time as a digital twin, intersects with stationary and transient protection and hazard objects in three-dimensional space, automatically detects potential hazardous situations from this and actively intervenes in the control of construction machinery or assists people in their movements. As a result, systems and processes are developed that further realise our visions of automated construction (Construction 4.0) and enable the digital representation of service provision on the construction site in real time.
