Enhancing the Efficiency of Bridge Construction

Bridge construction has been closely monitored by government agencies, engineering and construction communities, and the general public. Previous research results show that to enhance the bridge construction operations there is a need to develop innovative technologies to improve communication and coordination among the participants involved in the bridge construction and to provide the labor working status information for project managers and engineers to quickly identify labor efficiency problems at the project sites. To address this need, a research project was conducted with the main objective of developing the Labor Working Status Monitoring Model that utilizes the Wireless Real-time Video Monitoring System and the industry benchmark data.
