Construction Machine Safety System Real-Time Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current construction machine safety management systems are unable to immediately alert workers or site supervisors to improve safety conditions at a work site, relying on after-the-fact improvements rather than real-time responses to ongoing site situations.
Innovation Solution
A construction machine safety management system that includes an information generating unit to create entry degree information based on detection results from a detecting unit, which alerts operators and supervisors in real-time through a combination of visual, auditory, and motion-limiting mechanisms to ensure immediate safety improvements around construction machines.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the system stores and transmits entry information to a remote computer, then the information is preserved for later analysis, but the response time is delayed and real-time safety improvement is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by immediately displaying entry information on the construction machine's display device and issuing alerts at the scene before the information is transmitted to the remote computer. This ensures real-time safety response while still preserving the data for later analysis through remote transmission.
Solution Approach 2:
The safety management system is segmented into two independent functional parts: a local real-time response component that displays information and issues alerts immediately, and a remote data preservation component that receives and stores information for later analysis. This segmentation allows both real-time response and information preservation to occur simultaneously without interfering with each other.
2Ease of manufacture
If the system only provides after-the-fact safety improvements, then resource allocation is simple, but the effectiveness of safety management is reduced due to delayed response
Solution Approach 1:
The construction machine's own display device and alert system are utilized to provide real-time safety information and warnings directly at the work site. This self-service approach enables immediate safety response without requiring complex external intervention systems, maintaining simplicity while improving effectiveness.
Data Source
AI summary
A construction machine safety management system includes an information generating unit that generates information representing a relationship between a detection result and predetermined related information, based on the detection result obtained by a detecting unit that detects entry of an obstacle into a predetermined area around a construction machine and the predetermined related information corresponding to the detection result.
