Abstract
The noise level of the construction site can be very dangerous as various sounds occur on the construction site. Ambient measurement is a prerequisite for identifying Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sound standard limits. Existing systems used to capture and measure sound using the Noise Level Meter tool at the construction site are limited to working hours only. Humans are required to assist devices at construction sites. Measuring noise using only noise level meters is very limited as devices need to be monitored at construction sites. Therefore, improvement is needed to measure ambient noise in construction site areas to address existing system limitations. Ambient Site Ambient Site Monitoring System (IoT) is developed to measure ambient noise throughout the day and provide real-time updates of current sound. Data is collected and stored on cloud servers using the Favoriot platform. Data analysis features are provided in a web-based system that allows users to take further action. If the recorded sound exceeds the specified limit, the system generates a warning notification. Web systems are also developed to retrieve data stored on the cloud server and users can perform analysis and reporting. Improvements to existing processes derived from this study are expected to benefit in monitoring site noise through efficient data collection, storage and analysis.
