Hu, Songbo (2023) Identification and prevention of crane operational hazards by integrating BIM and pathfinding algorithm in construction planning. PhD thesis, Monash University, Australia.
Abstract
Prevention through Design (PtD) is a novel safety management concept that aims at reducing risks of hazards early in the life cycle of construction projects. This research embraced this concept and proposed a proactive safety management (i.e., PtD) method for crane operational hazards, leveraging two cutting-edge technologies: pathfinding algorithms and building information modelling (BIM). The results indicate that the PtD method enabled systematic, proactive, and automated controls over crane operational hazards and facilitated early engagements of hazard information in preconstruction activities.

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
