A Study of Safety Management Using Working Area Information on Construction Site

The authors discussed on the development of a safety management support system to prevent construction site accidents using working area information. The past disasters on heavy equipment were evaluated to clarify the causes of the accidents, and the functions for support system to prevent collision were defined. The design of the system was proposed with working area from RFID technology that is given the role from the defined functions. A prototype was developed with active type RFID tag from the basis for the functions of support system. The RFID tag data was collected in actual construction site, and it was clarified that the prototype is applicable to estimation of working area for the prevention of collision accident.
