Systems and methods for mapping hazards using wearable sensors

Abstract:

A system for detecting and mapping hazards is provided. The system includes at least one sensor unit including a plurality of sensors and a locating device and a hazard mapping (HM) computing device. The HM computing device includes at least one processor configured to receive, from the plurality of sensors, a plurality of sensor measurements, receive, from the locating device, a plurality of sensor locations, determine, based on the sensor locations, a location of the sensor unit during each sensor measurement of the plurality of sensor measurements, identify, for each determined location, a first location identifier of a first plurality of location identifiers, compare each sensor measurement corresponding to the first location identifier to a reference sensor level of the identified first location identifier, and determine that an alert condition is present based on the comparison.
