Abstract

Earthwork is to level or excavate the ground to provide a space for installing structures. A large number of construction equipment such as excavators, dozers, and dump trucks are put into the earthwork operation. The equipment operators need to constantly communicate with each other during the operation. In the earthwork operation, therefore, the process should be analyzed on the equipment operation to improve the effectiveness of communication. The objective of this study is to understand the earthwork process, and improve the effectiveness of data interface by adopting the smart glass technology. In the study, the general process of earthwork is modeled using a process diagram. The data that is generated during the process is modeled using a class diagram. A database is developed to store and reuse the data. The smart glass technology is adopted to develop a data interface during the earthwork operation. The result of the prototype showed that the technology can improve the data interface during excavation overcoming the shortcomings of hand or sound signals.

토공작업은 자연지반을 정지하거나 터파기를 통해서 구조물을 설치하기 위한 공간을 제공한다. 대규모 건설공사의 경우 토공작업은 굴삭기, 도저, 덤프트럭 등 대형장비가 투입되며, 장비와 장비간 그리고 토공작업에 투입되는 관리자간 인터페이스(interface)가 발생된다. 따라서 토공작업의 효과를 높이기 위해서는 건설장비 조종원간 커뮤니케이션(communication)이 필요하며, 토공작업의 프로세스를 분석하여 커뮤니케이션을 향상시켜야 한다. 본 연구는 건설공사의 토공작업 프로세스를 분석하고, 스마트 글래스 기술을 적용하여 커뮤니케이션 효과를 높이는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 프로세스 다이어그램을 사용하여 토공작업을 모델링 했으며, 토공작업 프로세스 상에서 생성되는 데이터에 대한 클래스 다이어그램을 작성했다. 또한 토공작업에서 생성되는 데이터를 저장하고 재사용하기 위해서 데이터베이스가 구축되었다. 최종적으로 스마트 글래스 기술을 적용하여 토공작업 중 데이터 인터페이스 효과를 높이기 위한 프로토타입이 개발됐다. 프로토타입 개발 결과 스마트 글래스는 수신호, 경적소리 등 단순한 데이터 전달방식을 벗어나서 토공작업에 참여하는 관리자와 건설장비 조종원간 지속적인 의사소통이 가능하게 할 것으로 평가된다.
