| Abstract |
Recently, as the size of construction projects are getting bigger and higher, more effective managing methods are required in management areas such as duration reduction, cost reduction and quality management. In the current construction industry, conjunction with IT(Information Technology) is being noticed as a solution to support these needs. Various IT solutions such as Bar Code, personal digital assistant(PDA), global positioning system(GPS), radio frequency identification(RFID) are being developed. In this research, among the various IT solutions, the Real Time Locating System(RTLS) which is acknowledged as a technology with high applicational potential is analyzed. Based on this analysis, a locating system to apply in construction sites is developed and validated. The locating system is developed to prevent construction disasters through real-time management of workers and equipment, which enables effective application in the area of construction safety management. Moreover, applications of the locating system in many different areas like construction material realtime monitoring, construction automation, construction quality management, maintenance management are expected. |
