Establishment of a Real-Time Risk Assessment and Preventive Safety Management System in Industrial Environments Utilizing Multimodal Data and Advanced Deep Reinforcement Learning Techniques

This study proposes a new paradigm for real-time, predictive, and multidimensional risk assessment in industrial environments by leveraging multimodal data (video, audio, environmental sensors). Existing risk assessment systems typically rely on single data sources or subjective judgment, making it difficult to adapt swiftly to complex workplace changes and achieve real-time responsiveness. To address these limitations, we constructed a large-scale multimodal dataset of approximately 10TB, employing real-time streaming-based preprocessing and data synchronization. This approach integrates various data sources—high-resolution cameras, high-sensitivity microphones, and environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, vibration)—and applies data augmentation techniques such as AutoAugment and MixUp to build robust models capable of handling diverse environmental conditions. We adopted a hybrid analytical algorithm combining Vision Transformer (ViT) and YOLOv8, achieving high accuracy (over 95%) and real-time processing (average response time under one second). Additionally, we utilized machine learning algorithms such as SVM, Random Forest, and K-Means to detect anomalies in audio and environmental sensor data, thus identifying latent risk factors. Experimental results demonstrate multifaceted performance improvements compared to conventional approaches, including over a 15% increase in accuracy, approximately 30% reduction in response time, about 20% reduction in power consumption, and user satisfaction exceeding 90%. These achievements were verified across various industrial settings—chemical, manufacturing, logistics—highlighting the system’s capacity to detect complex risk factors and respond proactively. By seamlessly integrating multimodal data analysis, state-of-the-art deep learning models (ViT, YOLOv8), and reinforcement learning-based response strategies, we have demonstrated a transition from traditional, static, and retrospective risk assessment to an intelligent, real-time, and predictive safety management framework.
