Abstract
An apparatus (400) comprising means for: obtaining (302) construction site activity information via a network of distributed on-site activity sensors (102); obtaining (304) environmental condition information from an environmental condition information source; determining (306) whether a site restriction alerting condition is satisfied, in dependence on the construction site activity information and on an environmental condition an indicated by the environmental condition information; and outputting (308) an alert in dependence on satisfaction of the site restriction alerting condition.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising at least one processor;
- and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the system at least to perform:
- obtaining construction site activity information via a network of distributed on-site activity sensors, wherein the construction site activity information is based on a number of unique wireless communication probes detected to be in proximity to each on-site activity sensor, and wherein each on-site activity sensor is associated with a different construction site area;
- obtaining environmental condition information from an environmental condition information source;
- determining whether a site restriction alerting condition is satisfied, in dependence on the construction site activity information and on an environmental condition indicated by the environmental condition information;
- and
- outputting an alert in dependence on satisfaction of the site restriction alerting condition.
A method comprising:
- obtaining construction site activity information via a network of distributed on-site activity sensors, wherein the construction site activity information is based on a number of unique wireless communication probes detected to be in proximity to each on-site activity sensor, and wherein each on-site activity sensor is associated with a different construction site area;
- obtaining environmental condition information from an environmental condition information source;
- determining whether a site restriction alerting condition is satisfied, in dependence on the construction site activity information and on an environmental condition indicated by the environmental condition information;
- and
- outputting an alert in dependence on satisfaction of the site restriction alerting condition.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer software that, when executed by at least one processor, is configured to:
- cause obtaining construction site activity information via a network of distributed on-site activity sensors, wherein the construction site activity information is based on a number of unique wireless communication probes detected to be in proximity to each on-site activity sensor, and wherein each on-site activity sensor is associated with a different construction site area;
- cause obtaining environmental condition information from an environmental condition information source;
- cause determining whether a site restriction alerting condition is satisfied, in dependence on the construction site activity information and on an environmental condition indicated by the environmental condition information;
- and
- cause outputting an alert in dependence on satisfaction of the site restriction alerting condition.
