Hyundai Engineering & Construction Introduces 'Disaster Prediction AI' at All Sites... "Proactive Safety Management"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Yuri] Hyundai Construction announced on the 17th that it has started full-scale AI-based construction site safety management using 'Disaster Prediction AI' since last month.

'Disaster Prediction AI' is a system independently developed by Hyundai Construction to provide information on expected disaster risks on the day of work at all domestic construction sites currently under construction. The system was developed based on over 39 million big data collected from all projects including civil engineering, architecture, and plants conducted by Hyundai Construction over the past 10 years.

It contains information on past actual safety accidents as well as near-miss incidents that did not result in human damage, such as construction vehicles slipping and nearly overturning on icy sections of the site or construction materials falling in unoccupied areas. This allows identification and prevention of potential disaster risks at construction sites.

The system analyzes scheduled construction information entered separately by site managers into the site management system to derive the probability of safety accidents by type and safety management guidelines, which are then delivered to site managers on the day of work via email and text messages. Each site can use this information for proactive safety management such as itemized pre-inspections.

'Disaster Prediction AI' learns construction information updated daily from sites nationwide in real time to maintain the latest data, enabling more accurate disaster risk prediction. After site managers input information such as progress rate and equipment used into the site management system upon completion of the day's construction schedule, the AI predicts upcoming construction details and analyzes the probability of disaster occurrence for the respective construction. Hyundai Construction expects this to improve management efficiency and reduce safety accidents.

A Hyundai Construction official said, "Big data and AI-based research like Disaster Prediction AI will be key to changing work methods in the construction industry in the future," adding, "We will establish ourselves as a leader in digital construction technology through newly developed technologies."
