Collisions between workers and vehicles are some of the most expensive incidents on a work site. Beyond the most important form of defense-having diligent and well-trained workers on-site-some contractors use digital solutions to prevent collisions. With the aim of anticipating and preventing collisions before they occur, software companies and equipment manufacturers offer a variety of tools for contractors. Collision avoidance is becoming a big business. According to 2015 research by MarketsandMarkets, anticollision technology for the construction industry-as well as automotive, railway and aerospace-is likely to grow from $31.19 billion in 2014 to $50.38 billion by 2020-a rate of 7.74 percent between 2015 and 2020.
