“…There were four instances of auditory-visual alert combination [118,128,132,139], and one instance of visual-tactile feedback combination [127]. Standalone auditory alerts were implemented by five studies [111,112,131,136,137], standalone visual communication was applied in another five studies [116,119,130,133,134], while standalone tactile feedback was mentioned in four studies [114,120,123,135]. Meanwhile, eight studies integrated auditory and tactile alerts to communicate safety information to the personnel [113,115,117,121,124,125,129,138].…”

High auditory noise levels and limited visibility are often considered among the main factors that hinder seamless communication on construction sites. Many previous research studies have leveraged technology to overcome these obstacles and communicate using the hearing, sight and touch senses. However, the technological efficacy does not secure the users’ perceptivity of the wireless communication devices. Statistical data regarding the number of fatal accidents on construction sites have remained steady despite regular efforts. This study analyzed prior research on wearable safety promotion devices for personnel that move around the jobsite on foot. A seven-point checklist was utilized to shortlist prior studies (2005–2021) attempting to provide safety information wirelessly to the construction workers-on-foot. The reasoning behind various on-body placements was investigated along with the information conveyed using the three communication modalities. A novel communication network is also introduced to visualize the technical details. Lastly, limitations and future recommendations have been presented to gain insights about the factors that might affect the placement of the wearable safety promotion devices.

“…The prototypes were similar to the ones found in the literature (Li et al , 2014; Hines et al , 2015; Kanan et al , 2018). However, in the case of the neckband, a standalone wearable was prepared as opposed to integrating it with the safety vest, which was the case in prior studies (GDOT, US, 2020; Golovina et al , 2021). The details regarding the software architecture and the hardware design are provided in Appendix.…”

“…The delivery of tactile feedback for construction workers has also been evaluated for additional on-body placements, including hard hat (Li et al , 2014; Li et al , 2016; Dong et al , 2018; Jo et al , 2019; Aliyev et al , 2020), neck (Hines et al , 2015; GDOT, US, 2020; Golovina et al , 2021), one or both arms (Teizer et al , 2010), safety vest (Hines et al , 2015; Cho and Park, 2018), waist (Dzeng et al , 2014; Sakhakarmi and Park, 2019), wrist (Kanan et al , 2018; Márquez-Sánchez et al , 2021), thigh (Park et al , 2016) and feet (Simeonov et al , 2011).…”

Purpose Tactile communication that relies on the human sense of touch replicated using vibration motors is increasingly being explored for seamless communication on construction jobsite. However, the technological efficacy cannot secure the users’ acceptability of the tactile communication devices. This study aims to assess the factors affecting the wearability of such a portable tactile device based on the responses from practicing professionals. Design/methodology/approach The investigation adapted a three-step phenomenological interviewing approach to seek feedback from construction personnel in Texas, the USA, regarding the viability of wearable tactile communication. The interviewees expressed various opinions about the on-body placement upon exposure to a portable tactile feedback prototype developed for this study, which was used to derive inferences regarding the factors affecting its on-field acceptability. Findings All the participants of the round-table study (11 out of 11) considered tactile feedback as a viable mode of communication on construction jobsite. Seven professionals supported the integration of a tactile device with the hard hat, whereas the rest preferred tactile eyeglasses. Weatherability, rechargeability, traceability, safety and social receptivity were identified as the major factors affecting the on-body placement of the wearable tactile communication device. Originality/value This paper presents a roadmap to gain construction industry opinion on the factors that can affect the on-body placement of a wearable tactile communication device. The five aforementioned factors impacting tactile communication acceptability were used to evaluate 10 potential on-body placements. The findings have implications for research and development of wearable tactile devices and the subsequent acceptability of such a device on the jobsite.

“…Likewise, high demand is set on a variety of technology that needs to safely steer the vehicles in rough(er than expected) terrain. Safety in equipment operation as it relates to detecting pedestrians, animals, or other obstructions close or nearby to it, is always a concern and specifically when it comes from the exploration or use of driverless machines [8]. There are numerous other challenges in the automation of earthmoving machines [9,10], including but not limited to emissions that are generated by fossil fuel-powered engines [11].…”
