Machine Learning for the prevention of occupational accidents in the construction industry

Important results from the project

The goal is to strengthen NCC´s development work using ML. In this project, ML has been applied in two areas in NCC: in the field of prevention of occupational accidents and in construction planning using remote sensing. These works are supported and assisted by Professor Shahina Begum, Mälardalen University. NCC has a comprehensive database of registered accidents and incidents that are used as a basis for an ML system. The result shows that the choice of models and validation of data was crucial for the quality i.e. how well the system supports site managers in preventing accidents.

Expected long term effects

The PhD student produced a licentiate report on “Toward Accident Prevention Through Machine Learning Analysis of Accident Reports”.
