title = "Improving construction safety through real-time motion planning of cranes",
abstract = "Good awareness of the construction site environment and following the operation requirements of cranes are essential for safety. This paper describes a new approach integrating an environment perception technology and motion planning of cranes to improve construction safety. Motion planning and re-planning algorithms are applied for cranes considering kinematic and engineering constraints. An ultra wideband real-time location system is used to update the environment information, which is used for collision avoidance by the re-planning algorithm. A prototype system and a case study are described to show the practical value of this research.",
