• Abstract: The construction industry is one of the main producers of greenhouse gasses (GHG). Quantifying the amount of air pollutants including GHG emissions during a construction project has become an additional project objective to traditional metrics such as time, cost, and safety in many parts of the world. A major contributor to air pollution during construction is the use of heavy equipment and thus their efficient operation and management can substantially reduce the harm to the environment. Although the on-road vehicle emission prediction is a widely researched topic, construction equipment emission measurement and reduction have received very little attention. This paper describes the development and deployment of a novel framework that uses machine learning (ML) methods to predict the level of emissions from heavy construction equipment monitored via an Internet of Things (IoT) system comprised of accelerometer and gyroscope sensors. The developed framework was validated using an excavator performing real-world construction work. A portable emission measurement system (PEMS) was employed along with the inertial sensors to record data including the amount of CO, NOX, CO2, SO2, and CH4 pollutions emitted by the equipment. Different ML algorithms were developed and compared to identify the best model to predict emission levels from inertial sensors data. The results showed that Random Forest with the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.94, 0.91 and 0.94 for CO, NOX, CO2, respectively was the best algorithm among different models evaluated in this study.
