Spatial-temporal analysis of safety risks in trajectories of construction workers based on complex network theory

Understanding the traffic patterns of construction workers on high-risk construction sites is important for implementing behaviour-based safety management. However, safety risks in worker trajectories are a complex system with high uncertainty. This resulted in few studies focusing on analysing the spatial–temporal risk in workers' trajectories from a systematic perspective. This study designs a new framework to explore the spatial–temporal patterns of safety risks in the trajectories of construction workers based on complex network theory. First, an integrated site safety risk classification method by combining hazard sources and group trajectory distribution is developed to accurately describe the spatial distribution of site risks. Second, a new complex network chronnet is used to construct complex networks containing risk information for spatial–temporal analysis. Finally, key risk areas and risk transition patterns are identified through the analysis of network measures. The study also developed a computational program that allows the network to be constructed and analysed in real-time. The feasibility and effectiveness of the method are verified through a case study. The results show that the method can reveal the risk distribution at the micro level, and explore the risk clustering and transition features in worker trajectories at the macro level. The study allows for an accurate analysis of dynamic risk patterns in construction workers' trajectories from a systematic perspective. It can also provide theoretical and practical support for personalized and adaptive behaviour-based safety management for construction workers.     

Exploring the tidal effect of urban business district with large-scale human mobility data

Business districts are urban areas that have various functions for gathering people, such as work, consumption, leisure and entertainment. Due to the dynamic nature of business activities, there exists significant tidal effect on the boundary and functionality of business districts. Indeed, effectively analyzing the tidal patterns of business districts can benefit the economic and social development of a city. However, with the implicit and complex nature of business district evolution, it is non-trivial for existing works to support the fine-grained and timely analysis on the tidal effect of business districts. To this end, we propose a data-driven and multi-dimensional framework for dynamic business district analysis. Specifically, we use the large-scale human trajectory data in urban areas to dynamically detect and forecast the boundary changes of business districts in different time periods. Then, we detect and forecast the functional changes in business districts. Experimental results on real-world trajectory data clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework on detecting and predicting the boundary and functionality change of business districts. Moreover, the analysis on practical business districts shows that our method can discover meaningful patterns and provide interesting insights into the dynamics of business districts. For example, the major functions of business districts will significantly change in different time periods in a day and the rate and magnitude of boundaries varies with the functional distribution of business districts.     

Model-based robust control design and experimental validation of collaborative industrial robot system with uncertainty

Based on the traditional PID control and robust control algorithm, a novel practical robust control method is designed for the 6-DOF collaborative industrial robot with uncertainty. The proposed algorithm consists of a robust term and a model-based PD control term, which we call MPDP controller. It is demonstrated by Lyapunov theoretical analysis that the algorithm is able to guarantee uniform boundedness and uniform ultimate boundedness of the system. Simulations and experiments show the good performance of MPDP control in a robot with smaller steady-state tracking errors and better robustness compared to PID controllers.     

Anticipating Cutoff Diameters in Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) Microfluidic Devices for an Optimized Particle Separation

Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) devices enable to separate nanometer to micrometer‐sized particles around a cutoff diameter, during their transport through a microfluidic channel with slanted rows of pillars. In order to design appropriate DLD geometries for specific separation sizes, robust models are required to anticipate the value of the cutoff diameter. So far, the proposed models result in a single cutoff diameter for a given DLD geometry. This paper shows that the cutoff diameter actually varies along the DLD channel, especially in narrow pillar arrays. Experimental and numerical results reveal that the variation of the cutoff diameter is induced by boundary effects at the channel side walls, called the wall effect. The wall effect generates unexpected particle trajectories that may compromise the separation efficiency. In order to anticipate the wall effect when designing DLD devices, a predictive model is proposed in this work and has been validated experimentally. In addition to the usual geometrical parameters, a new parameter, the number of pillars in the channel cross dimension, is considered in this model to investigate its influence on the particle trajectories.     

Probabilistic crack trajectory analysis by a dimension reduction method

This paper proposes a novel analysis method of stochastic crack trajectory based on a dimension reduction approach. The developed method allows efficiently estimating the statistical moments, probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the crack trajectory for cracked elastic structures considering the randomness of the loads, material properties and crack geometries. First, the traditional dimension reduction method is extended to calculate the first four moments of the crack trajectory, in which the responses are eigenvectors rather than scalars. Then the probability density function and cumulative distribution function of the crack trajectory can be obtained using the maximum entropy principle constrained by the calculated moments. Finally, the simulation of the crack propagation paths is realized by using the scaled boundary finite element method. The proposed method is well validated by four numerical examples performed on varied cracked structures. It is demonstrated that this method outperforms the Monte Carlo simulation in terms of computational efficiency, and in the meanwhile, it has an acceptable computational accuracy.
