Abstract
At the construction fields, the aging of skill engineers and the lack of successors are growing into a serious problem. And the increase in the number of labor accidents due to crushing labor is becoming a growing concern. Therefore, the thorough safety control of the workers is the urgent action assignment. To decrease the number of labor accidents, it is essential to detect the near miss incidents which can be directly linked to accidents, also to understand the physical fatigue condition of individuals at all time. Looking at existing cases, there are researches aimed for the decrease of the road traffic accidents. One is to detect near miss incidents of the drivers using the vehicle behavioral data such as an acceleration rate. Another research is to estimate the physical fatigue of the driver using the biological information such as the heart rate. However, these cases are intended for persons in sitting position, which cannot be applied to the workers at the construction fields.
Therefore, in this research, we validated the various possibilities concerning the near miss incidents and the physical fatigue using smart watch, which can easily measure the biological information at a reasonable price, under the environmental conditions considering the construction fields.
