Along the long service life of the approximately 65,000 bridges in Germany of more than 50 years, it requires the execution of many meetings under the participation of many different parties. These meetings are still location‐bound and run very manually using analog inventory documentation. For an optimization, further digitization as well as dissolution of the location dependency at the structure, immersive technologies can be used in connection with digital twins of bridge structures.This article presents an approach for a location‐independent meeting at the bridge structure under the integration and possibility of interaction of all actors and linking of the digital and physical world. A digital building model of the bridge serves as the data basis and immersive technologies such as augmented and virtual reality as the output and interaction technology. In the first section, the status quo is elaborated based on a literature review. This is followed by the presentation of the theoretical concept. In the next step, the concept is implemented and validated by using a real bridge demonstrator. Finally, further development possibilities as well as still existing challenges are derived.The result of the article shows a concept and the first feasibility of location‐independent meetings in the maintenance management of a bridge by merging the following elements.

“…These approaches have enabled the development of more interactive and immersive training environments, allowing trainees to practice tasks safely. However, to date, no previous work has integrated real-world data obtained through IoT into virtual safety training to expose the trainees to realistic hazards despite the potential benefits (Salinas et al, 2022;Zoleykani et al, 2023).…”

In numerous studies, virtual training for construction safety has been proposed as a promising approach. However, creating realistic training scenarios requires significant resources, encompassing various elements such as sound, graphics, agent behavior, and realistic hazards. Digital Twins have revolutionized this process, and although so far, on a conceptual level only, significantly reducing the associated workload, it is still not exploiting its full potential. In this work, we propose a novel approach that leverages Real-time Location Systems (RTLS) data to simulate the real-world behavior of construction workers and equipment within Virtual Training Environments (VTEs). We aim to create training scenarios with dynamic real-world instead of hardcoded made-up hazardous events. To achieve this, we propose an extension to our Digital Twin for Construction Safety (DTCS) framework that now integrates (a) trajectory data streams of construction personnel and equipment and (b) technical specifications of the construction site work environment, including location and geometry of terrain and surface objects, to simulate real-world hazards in virtual safety training scenarios. Our further contribution is a case study application to explore the DTCS training capacity. Applying a logical filtering algorithm, we can process the RTLS data and ensure that the movements of the workers and equipment within the virtual environment are as realistic and representative as within the real world. This then enables the creation of realistic hazards that trainees can encounter in the training phase. Preliminary results with trainees suggest that the proposed work can have a high potential to enhance the realism of safety training, especially when they need to experience human-machine-related interactions safely. However, further work is required to create more responsive learning environments where the equipment follows real trajectories but also responds intelligently to the trainees' actions. By leveraging real-time data and advanced visualization technologies, we bridge the gap between the physical and virtual realms, enabling trainees to interact and navigate within a realistic virtual environment

“…La elevada incidencia de accidentes en la industria de la construcción se atribuye a diversos factores como: el clima, el uso de maquinaria pesada, transporte de materiales y comportamientos inseguros de los trabajadores (Salinas et al, 2022). El uso adecuado de equipos de protección personal (EPP) es esencial para mejorar la seguridad y reducir el riesgo de accidentes en la construcción (Rajendran et al, 2020;Ramos-Hurtado et al, 2022).…”

En el sector de la construcción, la seguridad es un desafío constante debido a la falta de coordinación entre trabajadores y supervisores, así como al uso inadecuado de equipos de protección personal (EPP). Los obreros de la construcción en edificios enfrentan un riesgo significativamente mayor de lesiones fatales y no fatales en comparación con otras industrias. Las caídas de altura son una causa principal de lesiones y muertes debido a negligencia y falta de EPP. A nivel global, la industria de la construcción tiene altas tasas de accidentalidad, representando el 3.3% de los accidentes en 2018. Para abordar esta problemática, la investigación descriptiva incluye revisión bibliográfica y un estudio observacional en tres proyectos de edificaciones de la ciudad. Se aplicó la Matriz de Riesgos de William Fine para evaluar la probabilidad, exposición y consecuencias de accidentes debido al uso incorrecto de EPP. Los resultados obtenidos demostraron los niveles de riesgo a los que se exponen los obreros y se complementa con información que ellos mismo proporcionaron sobre los ambientes y condiciones de trabajo en cada edificación. Se pudo concluir que en gran porcentaje los accidentes se pueden evitar con un correcto uso de EPP, sin embargo, se debe tener un compromiso por parte de empleados y empleadores para una capacitación constante, crear una conciencia de seguridad personal y colectiva permite reducir los niveles de riesgos y vulnerabilidad hacia un accidente. El uso de los equipos de seguridad debe ser permanente para cumplir con las normativas vigentes del país. Área de estudio general: arquitectura. Área de estudio específica: seguridad ocupacional.
