RESEARCH INTERESTS<br />
My research interests include evaluating hazardous proximity issues between ground workers and heavy<br />
equipment on outdoor construction sites at grade and corresponding candidate technologies thought to be<br />
capable <strong>of</strong> providing workers another layer <strong>of</strong> protection. Technologies capable <strong>of</strong> providing alerts in<br />
real-time to construction equipment operators and/or ground workers during hazardous proximity<br />
situations and logging “near miss” events are evaluated for their reliability and effectiveness in simulated<br />
and actual construction environments.<br />
Research deliverables including risk management analysis results, safety site-layout designs, and<br />
knowledge generated from collected “near miss” information<br />
Enhanced personnel planning for safety to minimize exposure to hazardous proximity situations<br />
Identify existing barriers for technology implementation on construction sites<br />
Improvements in education and safety training for workers and equipment operators through<br />
hazard visualization in Building Information Modeling (BIM)<br />
Potential to save human resources by increasing awareness <strong>of</strong> hazardous proximity situations<br />
Cross-sectional implementation in several industries and disciplines (i.e. steel manufacturing)<br />
