About
Tarek Zayed is a leading researcher in construction engineering and management, with a primary focus on advancing safety, automation, and digital transformation in the built environment. His work bridges critical gaps in Construction 4.0, particularly through the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Building Information Modeling (BIM). His highly cited 2025 paper, "Smart IoT-BIM framework with modified zonal safety analysis (ZSA) for real-time safety monitoring in construction" (8 citations), introduces a novel approach to proactive hazard detection, significantly enhancing worker safety on dynamic job sites. Zayed also tackles the automation of heavy equipment, as demonstrated in his 2024 study on integrating path planning and trajectory tracking for tower cranes within the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework. This work addresses the industry's reliance on multiple human operators by proposing a comprehensive, automated control system. Through these contributions, Zayed is shaping a safer, more efficient future for construction, leveraging real-time data and robotics to reduce human error and operational risks. His research continues to influence both academic inquiry and practical industry standards.
