  • Publication number: 20070027732
    Abstract: A system and method of context-sensitive, location-based information delivery at a construction site senses the identity and current location of each user, and accesses a variety of databases. Based on a user's identity, the status of various tasks associated with the user, and the user's location, the system intelligently accesses only the information that the user needs at his current location at the current time. The system automatically, wirelessly transmits the information to the user, in the most useful format. The system may additionally observe and track the movement of personnel, equipment, and building materials on the construction site, leading to increased productivity through more effective management. The system may also enforce location-based safety codes.
