Construction safety accidents occur due to a combination of factors. Even a minor accident that could have been treated as a simple injury can lead to a serious accident or death, depending on when and where it occurred. Currently, methods for tracking worker behavior to manage such construction safety accidents are being studied. However, applying the methods to the construction site, various additional elements (e.g., sensors, transmitters, wearing equipment, and control systems) that must be additionally installed and managed are required. The cost of installation and management of these factors increases in proportion to the size of the site and the number of targets to be managed. In addition, the application of new equipment and new rules lowers the work efficiency of workers. In this paper, the following contents are described: (1) system overview, (2) image processing-QR code-based safety management target recognition methodology, and (3) object location discrimination technique applying the geometric transformation. Finally, the proposed methodology was tested to confirm the operation in the field, and the experimental results and conclusions were described in the paper.

The carbon emission amount of the Republic of Korea ranks 8th in the world including China and the US and accordingly, the government announced its emission reduction plan by 37% compared to BAU (8.51 million tons) by 2030. As a result of the emission trading scheme that has been implemented since 2015, efforts are being made to reduce environmental load. Accordingly, this study analyzed the material-specific environmental load distribution and environmental impact category for 60 IPC girder bridges of national road constructions in Korea by utilizing the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. The analysis result was found to be in the order of ready-mixed concrete (RMC) (64.00%), rebar (9.1%), timber (7.8%) and plywood (5.6%). As for environmental impact category-specific result, it was found to be in the order of global warming (50.60%), abiotic resource depletion (32.20%), photochemical oxidant creation (POC) (10.10%) and human toxicity (HT) (7.10%), thereby considered to be helpful when selecting the form of bridge while considering environmental load during the planning and design phases.
