- Development of a messaging hub for a real-time monitoring safety systemPublication . Lopes, Manuel Cardoso; Henriques, João Pedro MenoitaDue to the high number of accidents in high-risk environments, such as construction, there is a need to combine the worker’s health and safety with technology. The use of new technologies can help prevent accidents and improve response times when they occur. Falls are a common type of accident in these environments, and therefore, it is essential to detect them and act as quickly as possible. To improve response in case of accidents, this work evaluates the use of containerized virtualized messaging hubsto collect data from sensors and support Real-time Monitoring Safety Systems. The messaging hub aims to improve response times while providing high availability and uninterrupted services. A full stack of tests end-to-end was developed, simulating the behavior of the Real-Time Monitoring Safety System and performance tests under different workloads, using the JMeter tests framework. The results achieved demonstrate the performance of the different messaging hub technologies in reducing the response time to accidents.
