- 2. Introduction Introduction Motivation Problem 1: Static Obstacles Problem 2: Moving Obstacles Solution 2 / 12 Struck-by accidents are one of the most deadly hazards found on construction jobsites. But there is very few automated and proactive system to calculate the hazardous zones. Motion planning techniques can be used to estimate the safe trajectories. Discrete event system specification is useful to simulate the construction job in virtual environment.
- 3. Motivation Introduction Motivation Problem 1: Static Obstacles Problem 2: Moving Obstacles Solution 3 / 12 Approximately 75% of struck-by fatalities involve bodies in motion such as trucks or cranes(OSHA). Possibility of using motion planning algorithms to avoid collision. Two important factors affecting the level of safety hazards: 1) Sequence of activities and jobsite layout, 2) Movement patterns of workers and equipment Dynamic, and continuously changing nature of construction jobsites like robotic path planning problem.

Different Plans Introduction Motivation Problem 1: Static Obstacles Problem 2: Moving Obstacles Solution Alternate Activity Sequence Different Plans Simulation of the Plans Simulation in MSL Library Heatmap Generation Conclusions 8 / 12 Different plans yield different safety scores. Moving equipment do not affect the safety of two sequential activities. Static obstacles generated by an activity have a succeeding effect on the safety score of all the successor activities. P1 = [EX1, CP1, EX2, CP2] P2 = [EX1, EX2, CP1, CP2] P3 = [EX2, EX1, CP1, CP2].

Simulation of the Plans Introduction Motivation Problem 1: Static Obstacles Problem 2: Moving Obstacles Solution Alternate Activity Sequence Different Plans Simulation of the Plans Simulation in MSL Library Heatmap Generation Conclusions 9 / 12 Discrete event system specification was used to model the simulation. Motion planners were used to generate the collisions free paths in configuration space. ES = {E, Z, EL, fη, fz, zI} An example excavation events are, EEX = {L, H, D, R}. z = (xtr, ytr, θtr, ηex, rex, tex). fEX η (L, z) = H. fEX z (L, z) = (xnew tr , ynew tr , θnew tr , H, rex − r′, tex + t′). The constant, r′ ∈ N, denotes the units of soil/resources.

Conclusions Introduction Motivation Problem 1: Static Obstacles Problem 2: Moving Obstacles Solution Alternate Activity Sequence Different Plans Simulation of the Plans Simulation in MSL Library Heatmap Generation Conclusions 12 / 12 We calculate safe trajectories that are as far as possible from static obstacles while avoiding moving bodies (i.e., equipment). Suggests some alternative paths with less hazards. Phase II generates heat map according to hazard rate on different region of the construction zone. A large scale planning is possible which can suggest alternate construction activity sequences to minimize the risks. Thanks!
