Human reliability of the intelligent construction site tower crane driver interface based on DEMATEL-ISM-BN

Abstract

With the arrival of Industry 4.0, intelligent construction sites have seen significant development in China. However, accidents involving digitized tower cranes equipped with smart systems continue to occur frequently. Among the main causes of these accidents is human unsafe behavior. To assess the human factors reliability of intelligent construction site tower cranes, it is necessary to shift the safety focus to the human-machine interface and identify patterns of human error behaviors among tower crane drivers through text mining techniques (TF-IDF-TruncatedSVD-ComplementNB). Based on the SHEL model, the behavioral factors influencing human factors reliability in the human-machine interface are categorized and a Performance Shaping Factors (PSF) system is constructed. Building on the foundation of constructing an indicator system for human factors error influence in the driver interface of intelligent construction site tower cranes, the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method is combined with the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) to analyze the importance of various factors in causing human errors and to analyze the logical structure among these factors. Simultaneously, a Bayesian network is constructed using a multi-level hierarchical structural model, thus establishing a new evaluation method for the human-machine interface. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through Bayesian network causal inference based on real case studies. The results demonstrate that the evaluation process of this method aligns with the operational scenarios of tower crane drivers in intelligent construction sites. It not only allows for quantifying the likelihood of human errors but also enables the development of targeted measures for controlling unsafe behaviors among tower crane drivers in intelligent construction sites.
