论文摘要
尽管外部正成为室内工作场所的前沿，但在开放区域的户外人类活动必须完成大量的现实工作，例如道路建设。鉴于智能工作场所在包括生产力和安全性在内的各个方面的承诺，我们决定采用智能工作场所技术进行协作户外项目，以提高工作效率并减少工人的伤害。然而，我们对智能工作场所实施的试验遇到了一些问题，从不同利益相关者之间的理论混乱到延长地下设备寿命的技术困难。这触发了我们对“智能工作场所”的重新思考和讨论。最终，考虑到户外工作的独特特征（例如，比办公室工作更复杂的工作流程和与安全相关的情况更多），我们认为“以安全性为中心和智能的户外工作场所”在智能环境的伞上应有的专门研究和努力。此外，确定的技术挑战反过来又可以推动这种区别主题的不同研究维度。
Despite the fact that outside is becoming the frontier of indoor workplaces, a large amount of real-world work like road construction has to be done by outdoor human activities in open areas. Given the promise of the smart workplace in various aspects including productivity and safety, we decided to employ smart workplace technologies for a collaborative outdoor project both to improve the work efficiency and to reduce the worker injuries. Nevertheless, our trials on smart workplace implementation have encountered a few problems ranging from the theoretical confusion among different stakeholders, to the technical difficulties in extending underground devices' lifespan. This triggers our rethinking of and discussions about "smart workplace". Eventually, considering the unique characteristics of outdoor work (e.g., more sophisticated workflows and more safety-related situations than office work), we argue that "safety-centric and smart outdoor workplace" deserves dedicated research attentions and efforts under the umbrella discipline of smart environment. In addition, the identified technical challenges can in turn drive different research dimensions of such a distinguishing topic.
