Innovation for safety in construction: 0ACCIDNTES Project.

The 0ACCIDNTES project, funded by CDTI and co-funded by ERDF, seeks to reduce workplace accidents in construction through 4.0 technologies: advanced sensors, AI, digital twins, smart PPE and autonomous robotics.

Tests have been carried out in Madrid at FCC Construcción facilities:

• At the FCC Construcción Central Machinery Park, shared situational awareness was tested, where a truck and a fixed infrastructure, both equipped with advanced perception systems (LIDAR, camera and GPS), generate a single map by merging their perspectives. This system provides the driver with enhanced vision and predictive alerts to avoid collisions and improve workplace safety.
• In the construction project for 74 homes by FCC Construcción in Tres Cantos, the generation of 3D maps using SLAM and their conversion into 2D maps for the autonomous navigation of a robot dog, responsible for inspecting collective and individual safety elements, was validated. In addition, we tested a smart harness that ensures people are correctly anchored to lifelines.

All the tests were supported by a data lake, which receives data certified at source using blockchain, and from which a comprehensive platform can load and display alerts, as well as visualise all this information in BIM models.

The project is led by FCC Construcción, and was attended by various professionals from the Occupational Health and Safety area during the demonstrations, who contributed their experience to validate the applicability of the solutions in real environments. In addition, the project involves the participation of partners Becsa, Fractalia, Metálicas Plásticas JAR, Alisys, IDP, Lis Data and Signe, together with the technology centres ITA, CETIM and AIMPLAS, as well as the support of the Construction Technology Platform (PTEC) and the consultant INCOTEC.

One more step towards safer and more connected projects.
