Abstract
The construction industry records more hazards compared to any other sector. Protective equipment, such as guardrail systems, is essential for protecting workers from deadly falls but may quickly become incompliant after installation. Yet, many construction projects do not have the resources to dedicate personnel to perform the inspection as frequently as needed. Therefore, this paper proposes an automated rule-based inspection and compliance-checking system that can assist the responsible personnel in detecting faulty guardrails in live work environments. The classification approach utilizes safety design and mimics the steps of human guardrailing compliance assessment, which enforces simplicity and transparency, allowing the human domain expert to remain in control. Even under scarce data availability, this first-of-a-kind classification approach is reliable and scalable and successfully classifies 21 predefined and 9 validation scenarios of guardrail systems for fall protection.
期刊介绍：
Automation in Construction is an international journal that focuses on publishing original research papers related to the use of Information Technologies in various aspects of the construction industry. The journal covers topics such as design, engineering, construction technologies, and the maintenance and management of constructed facilities.
The scope of Automation in Construction is extensive and covers all stages of the construction life cycle. This includes initial planning and design, construction of the facility, operation and maintenance, as well as the eventual dismantling and recycling of buildings and engineering structures.
