Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Accidents on intelligent construction sites are often caused by human error. This study introduces a new method to evaluate human-machine interface reliability and control unsafe behaviors in tower crane drivers.
Area Of Science
- Construction Safety Engineering
- Human Factors Engineering
- Artificial Intelligence in Construction
Background
- Industry 4.0 has advanced intelligent construction sites in China, yet accidents involving digitized tower cranes persist.
- Human unsafe behavior is a primary cause of these tower crane accidents, highlighting the need to assess human factors reliability.
- Existing safety focuses need to shift towards the human-machine interface to understand and mitigate human error patterns.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop a novel evaluation method for the human-machine interface reliability of intelligent construction site tower cranes.
- To identify and analyze human error behavior patterns among tower crane drivers.
- To establish targeted measures for controlling unsafe behaviors and reducing accidents.
Main Methods
- Text mining techniques (TF-IDF-TruncatedSVD-ComplementNB) were used to identify human error behaviors.
- The SHEL model and Performance Shaping Factors (PSF) system were employed to categorize influencing factors.
- Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) analyzed factor importance and structure.
- A Bayesian network was constructed for a multi-level hierarchical evaluation of the human-machine interface.
Main Results
- A new evaluation method for the human-machine interface was established, integrating DEMATEL, ISM, and Bayesian networks.
- The method effectively quantifies the likelihood of human errors in tower crane operations.
- The evaluation process aligns with real-world operational scenarios of tower crane drivers.
Conclusions
- The developed method provides a robust framework for assessing human factors reliability in intelligent construction.
- Targeted measures can be developed to control unsafe behaviors, thereby enhancing safety for tower crane drivers.
- This research contributes to reducing accidents on intelligent construction sites by addressing human error at the human-machine interface.

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. Consider a lifting tong carrying a 100 kg load. It comprises movable sections DAF and CBG linked together with member AB.
Assuming the structure is symmetrical at point E, the force acting on member AB can be calculated.
First, a free-body diagram indicating the forces acting at point E is considered. The weight of the load that equals the mass times the acceleration...
