Abstract:

In order to clarify the potential research value and application prospects of LLMs and KG technologies in the field of construction safety, the existing problems in the knowledge-driven digital transformation of this domain were comprehensively analyzed, and the current state of technological development regarding knowledge graphs and large language models within it was reviewed. First, relevant literature was retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science(WoS) databases to define the scope of analysis. Then, the existing problems and challenges in the digital transformation of construction safety were analyzed, and the necessity of introducing KG and LLM was elaborated. Subsequently, the technological development of KG and LLM, along with the current status of their application research in construction safety, was briefly described. Preliminary achievements in the integrated application of KG and LLM within the construction safety domain were explored. Finally, the shortcomings of existing research were summarized, and future research directions are outlined. The results indicate that LLMs and KG technologies have demonstrated significant application potential in various scenarios within construction safety, including knowledge management, risk identification, and intelligent decision-making, highlighting considerable prospects for future implementation. However, current research still faces challenges such as a lack of real-time capabilities and insufficient integration. Future efforts should focus on establishing comprehensive and precise construction safety KG and exploring novel approaches for the integrated application of LLM and KG.
