title = "Feasibility of location tracking of construction resources using UWB for better productivity and safety",
abstract = "There is a growing demand for accurate and up-to-date information in the construction industry. Ultra Wideband (UWB) Real-Time Location Systems (RTLSs) enable tracking and visualization of resources on site and give more awareness to the construction staff in real time. This research investigates how UWB technology can improve productivity and safety in construction projects. The requirements of the RTLS are identified in terms of safety and productivity management. The usability of RTLS in the construction industry is tested by the collection of data from a construction site and organizing them into useful information needed for management. It was found that UWB is an effective tool to monitor construction resources because it provides accurate information in real time. However, good understanding of the requirements and filtering the data are necessary in order to get the best benefit of the technology for productivity and safety purposes.",
