  • In road work zones, pedestrian workers' habituated inattention to warning alarms from construction vehicles can lead to fatal accidents. Previous studies have theorized that human factors such as personality traits may affect workers' inattentiveness to workplace hazards. However, there has been no study that directly examined how road construction workers' personality traits affect their attention to warning alarms within a work zone and the likelihood of engagement in a struck-by accident. This study examines how workers' sensation-seeking (especially boredom susceptibility) is related to inattention to warning alarms while performing a task in road work zones. An experiment with actual road construction workers was conducted using a virtual road construction environment. Workers' attention to repeatedly presented warning alarms was measured using eye-tracking sensors. In response to workers' frequent inattentive behaviors, a virtual accident was simulated. Results revealed a significant association between boredom susceptibility and workers' engagement in the virtual accident, a consequence of inattentiveness to warning alarms. The findings suggest that workers' personality traits predispose them to tune out warning alarms and become vulnerable to accidents in road work zones. The findings of this study can be used to develop targeted interventions aimed at preventing workers' inattention to repeatedly exposed workplace hazards, thereby contributing to reducing fatal accidents in road work zones.

  • 건설공사에 있어 가설공사는 그 중요성에 비해 전체공사에 차지하는 공사 금액이 낮고 공사 완료 후에는 철거되므로 다른 공종에 비해 상대적으로 비중이 작게 취급 되는 공종이다. 실제 현장에 근무한 건설기술자들은 공사의 품질과 공사의 안전을 확보하기 위해 여러 공정중 가장 중요한 공종으로 가설공사의 안전을 이야기 한다. 하지만, 가설공사는 공사 진행에 따라 공사현장 여러곳에서 동시에 여러 종류의 가설재가 설치되고, 그것을 사용하여 본 공사가 진행되기 때문에 안전관리가 어려운 것도 사실이다. 건설공사의 안전사고는 거의 가설공사에서 이루어진다고 해도 크게 틀리지는 않는다. 최근 들어 건축물이 대형화, 다양한 복합용도, 대규모 지하공간의 굴착. 초고층으로 바뀌어가는 건설 추세로 보아 가설공사의 중요성과 안전성은 절대 소홀히 할 수 없다. 본 연구의 목적은 IT 기술을 이용하여 건설공사에서 사용되는 가설자재중 동바리의 안전 확보를 연구목적으로 하며 가설공사의 안전사고를 방지하는 안전관리를 제안 하고자 한다.

  • 건설공사의 시공공정을 관리자의 경험적 판단에 의하여 작업팀을 구성하여 운영하면, 시공공정의 진행이 비효율적으로 될 가능성이 많다. 그러나 시공계획단계에서 모의조작을 통하여 자원할당, 공사비, 공사기간의 최적 안을 산출하면 시공공정을 정량화하여 효율적인 운영을 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시공공정을 계획할 때 작업팀 운영의 변화에 따른 자원할당 변동치, 자원 손실비, 총공사비, 공사기간의 최적 안을 모의조작 할 수 있는 수식모형의 시안 식을 제안하였다. 제안된 수식모형을 검증하기 위하여 시공공정의 수평작업역과 수직작업 역이 각각 상이하게 구성된 공동주택 골조공사에 적용하여 시현하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 수식모형을 적용하여 모의 조작을 실시한 결과가 실제 사례공사에서 적용된 작업팀의 운영실적보다 효율화를 달성하였다.

  • As construction projects become larger, process plans become more complex, and inadequate process management leads to waste of time and resources. Effective process management requires process management techniques that can identify problems inherent in the process, continuously improve, and reflect interdependent process characteristics. In the field, the day's details by work type and work status are to be entered in the work daily report. However, even when important information is written, it is not directly linked to the overall process management. This study aims to propose specific process management and decision-making plan based on actual worker by visualizing and quantifying the information described in the existing work daily report. It is expected efficient process management to increase reliability and productivity through process management, which can increase the utilization of work daily reports and facilitates organic communication among participants.

  • Reinforced concrete works account for 40 to 50 percent of the total construction work. However, the shortage of construction workers is a problem in the delay of the construction period of reinforced concrete. The partial rebar prefabrication is one of the ways to shorten construction period. Thus, this study compared the partial rebar prefabrication and field fabrication method through work sampling. As a result, the partial rebar prefabrication showed a significant decrease in time compared to field fabrication method. As a result of this study, it is expected to be used as a reference for the efficient selection of reinforced concrete methods.

  • Recently, research on digital twins to generate digital information and manage construction in real-time using advanced technology is being conducted actively. However, in the construction industry, it is difficult to optimize and apply digital technology in real-time due to the nature of the construction industry in which information is constantly fluctuating. In addition, inaccurate information on the topography of construction projects is a major challenge for earthmoving processes. In order to ultimately improve the cost-effectiveness of construction projects, both construction quality and productivity should be addressed through efficient construction information management in large-scale earthworks projects. Therefore, in this study, a 3D digital map-based AR site management work support system for higher efficiency and accuracy of site management was proposed by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in wide earthworks construction sites to generate point cloud data, building a 3D digital map through acquisition and analysis of on-site sensor-based information, and performing the visualization with AR at the site By utilizing the 3D digital map-based AR site management work support system proposed in this study, information is able to be provided quickly to field managers to enable an intuitive understanding of field conditions and immediate work processing, thereby reducing field management sluggishness and limitations of traditional information exchange systems. It is expected to contribute to the improvement of productivity by overcoming factors that decrease productivity in the construction industry and the improvement of work efficiency at construction sites.
