Abstract:
This thesis deals with the research question of whether and under what conditions sensor-based safety systems, such as those established in stationary industry, can be used on construction sites. To this end, the construction site-specific influences on these systems are first analysed. This includes weather-related and process-related influences. On the basis of these influences, suitable test concepts are developed for investigations into the sensor behaviour under simulated laboratory conditions. As various sensor technologies are suitable for detecting people and objects, their functional principles and application limits are first analysed in order to assess their potential suitability for use on construction sites. The tests show that the basic use of these sensors on construction sites is possible. Based on the test results, a recommendation for action with various possible system architectures for potential use on construction sites is presented.
