Real-Time Safety Monitoring for Construction Sites Using RFID and Visual Recognition Technologies

The integrated automated safety monitoring system for construction sites utilizes RFID, Wi-Fi, and vision-based recognition systems to enhance worker safety and ensure adherence to safety regulations. This system combines sophisticated components such as RFID tags and Raspberry Pi, solenoid locks, servo motors, and PIR sensors to provide an exhaustive solution. RFID technology is applied to assign unique tags to each worker, facilitating accurate tracking and identification The Wi-Fi and visual recognition components improve the system's functionalities, enabling wireless connectivity instantaneous data transmission, and verification of appropriate safety gear application. Solenoid locks and servo motors ensure regulated access to hazardous areas, responding to authenticated safety compliance records. PIR sensors sense motion, differentiating between authentic presence and mere nearness. The methodology outlines the necessary hardware and software criteria, procedures for system initialization, evaluation phases, server connectivity setup, access control enactment, and session closure protocols. It details the seamless integration and verification of hardware components, backend connectivity, identity and safety adherence verification, data encoding, and session termination processes. This research aims to upgrade safety surveillance in construction environments, boosting productivity, accuracy, and security. It also underscores the need for further adaptability to various construction settings to advance greater uptake and continuous improvement in workplace safety protocols.
