Special issue information:
Construction sites are inherently high-risk environments. There is a growing awareness of the need for improving safety records and reducing injury/fatality rates across the construction sector. Today, construction practitioners and academics endeavour to design and/or implement technologies to achieve these goals. However, the empirical and theoretical developments for these endeavours are needed to be reinforced around these designs/implementations. This special issue aims to showcase a range of research within the construction sector to enhance safety in scientific and innovative ways.
We encourage original submissions that make significant contributions in theory and practice of using emerging technologies to enhance construction safety. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the use of:
• Building Information Modelling (BIM);
• Virtual Reality (VR);
• Augmented Reality (AR);
• Internet of Things (IoT);
• Machine Learning (ML)
• Artificial Intelligence (AI);
• Drones;
• 3D Printing,
• Mobile Technology.
Manuscript submission information:
All papers should be submitted via the Safety Science submission system. While submitting a paper to the special issue, please choose the article type “VSI: Construction and Technology’” otherwise your submission will be handled as a regular manuscript. All submissions will go through the journal’s standard peer-review process. Criteria for acceptance include originality, contribution, scientific merit and relevance to the theme of the Special Issue.
