A Literature Review on Development of Real-Time Safety Monitoring of Scaffolding in Construction Site Using Vision-Based Techniques

Abstract

The construction industry is high-risk, with worker safety as a top priority. This project aims to develop a real-time safety monitoring system for construction sites using vision-based techniques to improve worker safety. A systematic journal analysis was conducted on papers published between 2020 and 2024. After reviewing 32 journal articles, 27 meeting the selection criteria were finalized for analysis. Using VOS viewer, the analysis identified significant contributions in journals such as Applied Sciences, Automation in Construction, and Sustainability, which showed strong impact. Countries with higher-impact journals included South Korea, the United States, and China, with developed nations dominating in total and average citations. Journal analysis provides valuable insights by identifying research trends, uncovering knowledge gaps, and offering a deeper understanding of the field. It also helps guide future research and publication decisions by highlighting the most influential work in construction safety and real-time monitoring systems.
