Early Pilot Deployment of a Decision-Making Framework to Select Wearable Internet of Things Devices for Safety on Construction Sites
The recent growth in the popularity of interconnected wearable devices with sensing, computing, and communication capability has been very rapid, paving the way for a new category of technology called Wearable Internet of Things (WIoT). Although more prevalent in other industries (such as healthcare, sports, and fitness), the use of IoT-based wearable devices (i.e., WIoT devices) has only found limited applications in the construction industry for safety management. Given the recent development, there is a pressing need to explore the decision-making process to evaluate and select the most appropriate WIoT devices for safety on construction sites. Thus, the purpose of this study is to present the results of an early pilot program to implement a decision-making framework to select WIoT for safety on construction sites. This pilot study followed a descriptive quantitative research methodology with a case study design. The results of this study provide the first attempt to help construction companies in their decision-making process regarding field implementation of WIoT devices.
