Accuracy assessment of Ultra-Wide Band technology in tracking static resources in indoor construction scenarios

An Autonomous Ultra-Wide Band-Based Attitude and Position Determination Technique for Indoor Mobile Laser Scanning

“…Moreover, the positioning accuracy of UWB is very high, as shown in Table 1: it can achieve decimetre-level or even centimetre-level positioning accuracy. The cccuracy assessment of UWB in construction-related scenarios such as signal blockage, multipath effect, and metal surface can be found in [38], and the deterioration of UWB positioning during construction can be found in [39].…”

Planning safe distances between workers on construction sites

“…Realtime control would naturally require an appropriate automated tracking system. A number of studies have demonstrated that readily available and relatively inexpensive real-time location technologies can be used to identify the precise locations of workers on construction sites [22,9,12]. In case the locations of workers are monitored during the execution of the project, instances can be identified in which the actual distance between workers at time t is less than the minimum safe distance:…”

Research Trends in Information Technology Applications in Construction Safety Engineering and Management

“…The study measured the extent of the impact of variables that represent seven conditions that would have a negative impact on the accuracy of the location estimation data provided by UwB (Maalek & Sadeghpour, 2013).The study reported an evaluation of the static and dynamic performance of a commercially-available UwB tracking system in free space and under realistic construction environment scenario. The results of these tests were in agreement with the manufacturer specifications for the UwB systems tested in outdoor environment (Saidi et al, 2011).…”
