On the 18th, Lotte Engineering & Construction announced that it is developing AI safety monitoring technology based on worker behavior to prevent safety accidents.
Lotte Engineering & Construction explained that the development is being carried out in a consortium consisting of six institutions: Sungkyunkwan University, the Convergence Technology Research Institute, Dongguk University WISE Campus, LIG Systems Co., Ltd., and SmartInside AI.
The consortium is participating in the research project of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s National Disaster Safety Research Institute titled 'Development of safety monitoring prediction technology based on worker behavior.' Recently, a demonstration was held at the construction site of the first section of National Route 400 in the Gimpo-Paju area, where Lotte Engineering & Construction is engaged in construction.
During the demonstration, workers wore a total of six wearable sensors and carried out tasks within the testbed area in accordance with scenarios such as heavy equipment collisions, entrapment, monitoring of abnormal worker behavior patterns, and health monitoring during commutes.
Some scenarios were implemented in a digital twin (virtual simulation model) environment, allowing for the detection of workers' behavior and location while obtaining continuous monitoring data through fixed cameras. Lotte Engineering & Construction stated that the data would be analyzed using the AI safety management platform (SSIMS.AI, SmartInside AI), which has an AI model, with expectations for preventing safety accidents and reducing incidents on site.
A representative from the Lotte Engineering & Construction Technology Research Institute noted, "We confirmed the feasibility of technology development during this demonstration, and we plan to expand our competitive technologies through continuous research and development in the future."
