S-Helmet: A Location-aware Safety System for Construction Workers

We have developed a system for construction safety, called S-Helmet, based on our real-time localization technique. S-Helmet can track workers’ real-time locations with desirable accuracy. When a worker is moving near danger zones, the helmet will automatically issue an alarm. The helmet can also be equipped with other sensors to monitor the worker’s health condition. The S-Helmet can provide traces of works and moving objects. By mining the historical traces, we can analyze workers’ safety associated behavior and improve construction site safety management. S-Helmet can effectively help to avoid the construction site accidents and improve healthcare condition of workers. The system will have substantial impact on the construction safety.
