“…Accordingly, Wang et al [ 29 ] study the integration between RFID, mobile devices-PDA and websites to get real-time information, facilitate the exchange of information in construction supply chains in Taiwan and provide dynamic operation control. Similarly, Song et al [ 30 ] developed a system that can identify logistic flows and the location of construction materials with better performance using RFID and WSN. Ko et al [ 31 ] also describe the development of a prototype system with RFID and cloud computing in order to avoid recurring problems related to manual management of construction materials, such as lack of materials on site when required, incorrect material supply, and accumulation of material inventories.…”

The main causes of building defects are errors in the design and the construction phases. These causes related to construction are mainly due to the general lack of control of construction work and represent approximately 75% of the anomalies. In particular, one of the main causes of such anomalies, which end in building defects, is the lack of control over the physical variables of the work environment during the execution of tasks. Therefore, the high percentage of defects detected in buildings that have the root cause in the construction phase could be avoidable with a more accurate and efficient control of the process. The present work proposes a novel integration model based on information and communications technologies for the automation of both construction work and its management at the execution phase, specifically focused on the flat roof construction process. Roofs represent the second area where more defects are claimed. The proposed model is based on a Web system, supported by a service oriented architecture, for the integral management of tasks through the Last Planner System methodology, but incorporating the management of task restrictions from the physical environment variables by designing specific sensing systems. Likewise, all workers are integrated into the management process by Internet-of-Things solutions that guide them throughout the execution process in a non-intrusive and transparent way.

“…In the civil and construction engineering areas, infrastructure monitoring, such as tunnels, dams, bridges, buildings, and highways, ZigBee is being used as the main driver of wireless data collection (Kim et al 2011;Dhivya, Hemalatha 2013;Iqbal, Yukimatsu 2011;Miao et al 2012;Kim et al 2008;Dibley et al 2012). Construction asset tracking, crew monitoring, safety monitoring and equipment tracking are other examples of ZigBee technology in construction engineering areas (Wu et al 2013;Yang et al 2011;Naticchia et al 2013;Song et al 2007). Some other ZigBee applications for data collection and processing also include underground monitoring, environmental monitoring, industrial control and monitoring, and localization (Sung, Tsai 2011;Xu, Wu 2012;Blumenthal et al 2007;Hwang, Yu 2012).…”

Application studies on wireless sensor networks (WSN) are actively conducted in the construction industry. However, there are several technical limitations including signal interference caused by the characteristics of wireless sensors, reliability degradation in wireless communication and uncertainty of configuring a network topology. This may lead to a decline in reliability and performance of real-time data acquisition methods. Thus, the paper developed a model capable of predicting reliability performance of wireless signals applied to civil infrastructures. The measured and predicted values of wireless signals are compared and analyzed through a field experiment carried out in an actual bridge to verify the prediction model suggested herein. As a result of the analysis, the prediction model demonstrated a variation up to 8.4% compared with actual measurements, proving the high accuracy of the prediction model. Furthermore, the reception rate at short distances within a 5 m radius is at least 90%, showing a highly reliable reception capacity. When this is applied to monitoring systems in the construction sector, it is believed that performance and reliability of such system can be secured.

Abstract. The technological advancement in the past three decades has impacted our lives and wellbeing significantly. Different aspects of monitoring our physiological parameters are considered. Wearable sensors are one of its most important areas that have an ongoing trend and have a huge tendency to rise in the future. The wearable sensors are the externally used devices attached to any individual to measure physiological parameters of interest. The range of wearable sensors varies from minuscule to large scaled devices physically fitted to the user operating on wired or wireless terms. Many common diseases affecting large number of people notably gait abnormalities, Parkinson's disease are analysed by the wearable sensors. The use of wearable sensors has got a better prospect with improved technical qualities and a better understanding of the currently used research methodologies. This chapter deals with the overview of the current and past means of wearable sensors with its associated protocols used for communication. It concludes with the ways the currently dealt wearable sensors can be improved in future.
