Texas A&M Explores AI to Cut Struck-By Incidents in Road Work Zones

Texas A&M University is pursuing AI applications to reduce struck-by incidents on road work zones according to Construction Dive.

Project Focus

The effort targets struck-by hazards specific to road construction environments. Texas A&M aims to apply AI tools directly to jobsite conditions that produce these incidents.

Training Technology Position

“VR and AI-based safety training should not be viewed as an experimental technology anymore,” said Namgyun Kim, an assistant professor in the department of construction science at Texas A&M University according to Construction Dive.

Implementation Context

The university frames AI and VR training as established methods for construction safety programs. This stance aligns with ongoing efforts to integrate the technologies into road work zone operations according to Construction Dive.
