Abstract:The proposed project aimed to develop a cost-effective, user-friendly, and reliable hazard detection and alert system to prevent crashes between construction equipment/vehicles and workers on foot in work zones. The envisioned system includes wearable proximity sensors for the workers and an in-vehicle portable detection system for the operators. The system was designed to notify operators and workers promptly when equipment/vehicles are backing up and workers are nearby. The system employed Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon technology that enables a bidirectional detection and alert system to prevent crashes between equipment/vehicles and workers. However, the developed system had limitations associated with environmental and natural factors. The project concludes that BLE beacon technology is unsuitable for developing a safety detection and alert system for work zones.
