Abstract:

Construction logistics plays an important role to complete construction projects successfully. It is necessary to monitor incoming and outgoing resources by time phase. And it is very significant to notify immediately where the incoming material or equipment should go at especially large construction site according to site advantages of RFID, Zigbee, and CDMA technologies to communicate with incoming and outgoing equipments such as trucks, construction equipments in addition to worker’s checking in and out at the construction site. The prototype system of Gate Sensor was developed and tested successfully at out laboratory. This paper will describe 1) the architecture of Gate Sensor, 2) the technological set up for the equipments to be recognized by GateSensor, 3) the laboratory tests process and results, and 4) expected potentials for further applications.
