Abstract Safety is a crucial factor for the smooth progress of construction projects. Construction workers' vigilance significantly impacts construction safety, especially in teleoperation situations, but there is limited knowledge on this topic. This study proposes a methodology to measure vigilance, work productivity, and cognitive load of remote workers and analyze the correlation among them, and confirms its feasibility through experiment. A virtual environment for tower crane teleoperation is set up, and the complexity of the remote interface is designed in detailed levels. An experiment with nine participants showed that the proposed methodology is effective in measuring and analyzing the vigilance, work productivity, and cognitive load of remote workers, suggesting the need for further research. These implications provide a foundation for interface improvement studies aimed at enhancing productivity and safety in the construction industry and can be utilized in user-friendly interface design research in other fields.
