Occupational Fatigue Prediction for Entry-Level Construction Workers in Material Handling Activities Using Wearable Sensors
Year: 2018
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Research on the measurement and prediction of occupational fatigue of construction workers using wearable sensors has been carried out using different types of sensor technologies and measurement variables.Previous studies have demonstrated promising results using wearable sensors for fatigue prediction, suggesting that they may have practical use as tools for the prevention of fatigue management on worksites.However, there are no clear guidelines on the type of sensors to use in fatigue management or on the relevant sensed variables.Moreover, the collection and processing of wearable sensor data should be sufficiently simple for safety professionals to use in practice.The current study aimed to address these challenges by using several of the most active wearable sensor technologies in occupational fatigue research-
