Description
Summary:The safety inspection capability of construction sites before typhoons could be improved using a UAV, which has a rapid identification capability. However, the main safety inspection items need construction experience and technical safety specifications. This study aimed to obtain the influencing factors of typhoon and their weight proportion through the knowledge of disaster theory and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The effectiveness of this method was verified by collecting and analyzing the field data at the construction site. A set of construction site early warning flows and disaster prevention and mitigation measures for typhoons are proposed. The results show that UAVs can be used as a tool in this scenario, helping to improve disaster prevention and enhancing the capability of construction site management to evaluate typhoon risk. The research provides a much-needed common ground for collecting and analyzing advances in UAVs and immersive technologies, as well as their influence on building projects. Furthermore, this article provides a new horizon for beginner researchers working on digitalized construction research.
