Abstract

Accidents of worker that occur in isolated places are difficult to rescue, unlike general construction accidents. There is a problem of communication limitation when an accident occurs in an isolated place. Also, it is difficult to search the accident place due to the absence of CCTV. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a device that combines IoT technology with a safety helmet, which must be worn in the workplace. The proposed device additionally designs and implements a real-time PPG(Photoplethysmography) sensor, body temperature sensor, accelerometer sensor and a camera sensor on the helmet. The proposed helmet system allows the user and the control center to monitor the state of the worker. In addition, when an abnormal biological signal or fall occurs to the worker, the image is transmitted to the control center. By using the proposed system, it is possible to check the status of the worker in real time, so that it has an advantage that it can cope with the accident quickly.

해상과 같이 고립된 장소에서 발생하는 작업자의 사고는 일반적인 건설 사고와는 달리 통신의 제한 등의 문제로 구조에 어려움이 따른다. 또한 CCTV의 부재로 인한 사고 현장의 수색에 어려움이 생긴다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 이 논문에서는 작업 현장에서 필수적으로 착용해야 하는 안전모에 IoT 기술을 접목한 장치를 제안한다. 제안 장치는 기존의 안전모에 심박센서, 체온 센서, 가속도 센서 및 카메라 센서를 부착하여 설계 및 구현하며, 사용자 및 관제 센터에서 작업자의 상태를 모니터링 할 수 있게 한다. 또한 작업자에게 비정상적인 생체 신호나 낙상이 발생하면 영상을 관제센터로 전송한다. 제안 시스템을 활용하면 작업자의 상태를 실시간으로 확인할 수 있으므로 작업자의 사고에 대해 빠른 대처를 할 수 있는 장점을 가진다.
