Advances in Constructional Engineering

Against the backdrop of the in-depth advancement of digital transformation, the safety management of construction sites urgently needs to shift from traditional experience-driven methods to data-driven, traceable processes with quantifiable responsibilities. To address challenges such as delaye identification, inadequate responsibility implementation, and insufficient on-site management records, the “Safety Credit System” management framework has emerged and is adopted in digital application practices within transportation infrastructure projects the first time. This system, centered on “Integral quantification, data support, full staff participation, and closed-loop management,” integrates multi-dimensional data from personnel, equipment, work sites, and potential hazards. It enables dynamic monitoring and intelligent evaluation of on-site safety conditions, forming a closed-loop management system where responsibilities are clearly defined and performance is traceable. This significantly enhances the effectiveness and management level of safety governance on construction sites.
