Application of Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence for Risk Mitigation of Accidents in Construction Sites: A Case Study of Brazilian Construction Companies
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The construction industry constantly faces challenges related to workplace safety. Managing work safety is crucial to ensuring worker protection and successful project completion. In this context, this study investigates the applicability of Internet of Things technologies and Artificial Intelligence models, such as YOLO, to enhance safety on construction sites. The research identifies significant cultural resistance to the adoption of disruptive technologies in the Brazilian construction sector, and interviews with industry professionals reveal a low level of awareness and interest in these technological innovations. Through case studies and quantitative analyses, the study demonstrates YOLO's potential in identifying risks, such as detecting PPE and structural hazards. The results highlight the need to overcome conservative barriers and invest in technological solutions to increase safety and efficiency in construction.
