Workers Alert Proof of Concept

The Worker Alert project was developed to improve safety on construction sites by minimising high-risk interactions between workers and vehicles. Real Time Traffic (RTT)deployed a system that integrated Realite Safety Cameras, Jetson edge computing devices, and wearable technology to provide real-time hazard detection and notification. The solution was tested at a trial site in Pakenham, Victoria.

The core of the system utilised video data processing through edge computing, reducing detection latency to approximately 200 milliseconds. This sub-second processing speed was achieved by moving video analysis from cloud-based infrastructure to on-site edge devices, minimising reliance on 4G connectivity and significantly improving the responsiveness of alerts.

Detected incidents triggered visual notifications via LED-equipped hard hats, ensuring workers received immediate feedback when entering danger zones. The system maintained a detection accuracy rate of over 95%.
