In the past two decades more than 26,000 U.S. construction workers have died at work. That equates to approximately five construction worker deaths every working day. About 90% of workplace injuries can be traced to unsafe work practices and behaviors. As these statistics indicate, safety in construction remains a big problem. The sad reality of frequent loss of life, injuries, near-misses, and collateral damages poses liabilities that can be prevented. The proposed innovation is to track and monitor location of mobile assets including workers and equipment for improved safety management in dynamic construction job sites with real-time visualization. Given the world's $4-7 trillion dollar construction market, large potential exists for this technology, if successful, to be used worldwide by virtually any owner, contractor, or city that needs or wants safe and healthy construction workplaces.The proposed technology utilizes wireless tracking sensors and positioning algorithms to display mobile resources in Building Information Models (BIM) in real time. The developed system will undertake safety and health hazard identification at the construction stage of a project and automatically locate workers in real-time, including sending alerts if a worker enters a hazardous area. As the added advantages, the proposed technology can 1) enhance efficiency and reduce time commitment of conducting job hazard analysis and management; 2) improve worker?' safety awareness and their understanding of a surrounding working environment; and 3) collect and store safety knowledge data which will assist to sustain the safety knowledge within the company and help knowledge transfer from experienced professionals to new generations.

在过去的20年里，超过26，000名美国建筑工人死于工作。这相当于每个工作日大约有5名建筑工人死亡。大约90%的工伤事故可以追溯到不安全的工作实践和行为。正如这些统计数字所显示，建筑安全仍然是一个大问题。频繁的生命损失、伤害、未遂和附带损害的悲惨现实构成了可以预防的责任。所提出的创新是跟踪和监控包括工人和设备的移动的资产的位置，以利用实时可视化来改进动态施工作业现场中的安全管理。考虑到世界上4 -7万亿美元的建筑市场，如果成功的话，这项技术将有很大的潜力被世界范围内几乎所有需要或想要安全和健康的建筑工作场所的业主、承包商或城市所使用。所提出的技术利用无线跟踪传感器和定位算法，以真实的时间在建筑信息模型（BIM）中显示移动的资源。开发的系统将在项目的施工阶段进行安全和健康危害识别，并实时自动定位工人，包括在工人进入危险区域时发送警报。作为附加的优点，所提出的技术可以1）提高效率，减少时间承诺进行工作危害分析和管理; 2）提高工人？安全意识和他们对周围工作环境的理解;以及3）收集和存储安全知识数据，这将有助于在公司内维持安全知识，并帮助知识从经验丰富的专业人员转移到新一代。
