| description | Despite all efforts to enhance safety, construction sites remain a major location for traffic accidents. Short-term construction sites, in particular, face limitations in implementing extensive safety measures due to their condensed timelines. This paper seeks to enhance safety in short-term construction sites by alerting maintenance personnel and approaching vehicles to potentially dangerous scenarios. Focusing on defining the exact dimensions of static construction sites, this method employs high-precision Real-Time-Kinematics-GNSS for localizing traffic cones and deriving the construction site geometry through respective algorithms. By analyzing the geometry, we can identify situations where maintenance personnel are in close proximity to the active lane or when vehicles enter the construction site. To increase awareness of hazardous situations, we present methods for distributing information to maintenance personnel and vehicles, along with technical solutions for warning those involved. Additionally, we discuss the distribution of the construction site’s geometry among approaching vehicles, which can provide future automated vehicles with crucial information on the site’s exact start and end points. |
