Moohialdin, Ammar (2020) A real-time worker activity intensity identification system for construction workers under hot and humid weather conditions. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
Abstract
This research examined a novel real-time, non-intrusive activity intensity identification system that approximate site activity intensity levels and their associated risks under hot and humid weather conditions. The research revealed that the activity intensity identification system provides real-time, non-intrusive measurements and early warning signs at the crew level. Physical work and site activities also contribute to high activity intensity levels, while the combined effects of activity intensity and hot and humid weather conditions have substantial direct and indirect heat-related risks. The findings contribute to innovative methods for real-site measurements and reinforce early warning signs to take heat-related interventions at the right time.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
