Capturing Dynamics of UAS-Based Construction Safety Management Using Causal Loop Diagram
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2022
ABSTRACT
Recent studies have been focusing on developing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) based construction safety management applications. However, it has failed to investigate the potential performance of the UAS-based safety management because it is hard to define the relationships between factors as well as quantify the performance. A causal loop diagram (CLD) can represent the process in which various factors and impacts are intertwined. Therefore, this research aims to define the variables affecting the UAS performance for safety management as well as to develop a CLD containing feedback structures through the extensive literature review. The CLD will be used to develop a system dynamics (SD) model that can assess the safety management performance using UAS over time. One of the potential challenges is limited validation of the model in the real environment. However, this study makes a significant contribution to the body of knowledge on this topic to assess the performance of how the system is effective for construction safety management.
