An Empirical Study of Work-zone Safety and Mobility Using Surveys and Anonymous User Generated Trip Information

Creator:: Fiawoyife, Kenneth K.
Abstract:: The two primary considerations for highway work-zones are its effect on commuter mobility and worker safety which are often spoken of together. However, it must be noted that they often conflict with each other. For example, traffic control plans that reduce travel speed in work-zones improve both commuter and worker...

Real-time Dynamic Schedule Updating Through Integrated Lean Construction Methods

Creator:: Lotti de Oliveira Paula, Gustavo
Abstract:: Planning and management methods in construction need to constantly evolve to keep pace with the growing demand and complexity of work in increasingly competitive environments. This need for innovation and process improvement has attracted lean construction philosophy in industry management practice. Lean has been used in the construction industry to...

A Framework for Analyzing Debris Removal Operations Using Discrete Event Simulation

Creator:: Vijay, Akash
Abstract:: Debris generated after a disaster event must be disposed efficiently for community recovery. This is a significant operation that accounts for up to 27% of the total recovery costs. Generally, debris removal takes place in two phases: the short-term relief phase, which involves debris removal immediately after a disaster to...

Perceived Effectiveness of Highway Work Zone Intrusion Mitigation Technologies: A State DOT Perspective

Creator:: Kadalli, Manjunath Veeresh
Abstract:: Highway work zones are extremely dangerous environments due to the presence of workers near high-speed traveling vehicles. This dynamic environment results in a disproportionate number of accidents that cause injury and casualty to both drivers and workers due primarily to vehicular intrusions into work zones. Several emerging work zone intrusion...

Automated Monitoring of Construction Operations for Data-Driven Decision Making

Creator:: Rashid, Khandakar, M.
Abstract:: The continuous improvement of construction operations requires a systematic approach of monitoring and making appropriate control actions. However, the lack of real-time information hinders this workflow and eventually compromises timely and effective decision-making. Project managers spend a great deal of time and effort to solve problems emerging from lack of...

Cost-Benefit Evaluation of Energy-Efficient Building Strategies in Single-Family Affordable Housing

Creator:: Iliff, Helen M.
Abstract:: The goal of this thesis is to ease the adoption of energy-efficient (EE) building strategies for affordable homes in the United States (US). Low-wage earning households spend nearly three times the proportion of their gross annual income on home energy bills resulting in higher energy burden for them when compared...

Automated Monitoring of Modular Construction Factories using Computer Vision

Creator:: Panahi, Roshan
Abstract:: Modular construction is increasingly seen as an efficient construction method in terms of time, cost, and energy. The full realization of these advantages partly relies on the efficiency of the production process inside the modular factories, which currently rely on tedious manual monitoring methods or expensive automated techniques. As a...

Improving Safety on Construction Sites by Using Real Time Sensor Data to Monitor Worker Field-of-View and Proximity to Hazards and Reduce the Generation of False Positive Alarms

Creator:: Chan, Kelsey
Abstract:: The construction industry is infamously recognized for having jobsites identified as hazardous working environments due to workers-on-foot commonly functioning at dangerous heights and in close proximity to other construction entities, among other reasons. These hazardous operations result in an increased risk of worker injuries and fatalities caused by fall hazards...

Creator:: Claveria, Joseph B.
Abstract:: Distracted driving is an adverse driving behavior that is widely known to impair the safety of all roadway users and traffic flow. Despite the extensive research efforts on the prevalence and effects of distracted driving on roadway safety and performance, the number of vehicular crashes and fatalities resulting from distracted...
