To prepare response measures, it is necessary to estimate workers\u2019 perceived temperature (PT) according to exposure time, road environment, clothing type, and work intensity. This study aimed to examine radiation (short-wave radiation and long-wave radiation) and other meteorological factors (temperature, humidity, and wind) in an actual highway work environment in summer and to estimate PT using the observation data. Analysis of radiation and meteorological factors on the road according to pavement type and weather revealed that more heat was released from asphalt than from concrete. Regression model analysis indicated that compared with young workers (aged 25\u201330 years), older workers (aged \u2265 60 years) showed a rapid increase in PT as the temperature increased. The temperatures that people actually feel on concrete and asphalt roads in heat wave conditions can be predicted using the PT values calculated by the regression models. Our findings can serve as a basis for measures to prevent workers from thermal diseases at actual road work sites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15041065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,15]],"date-time":"2023-02-15T06:33:01Z","timestamp":1676442781000},"page":"1065","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Estimation of Perceived Temperature of Road Workers Using Radiation and Meteorological Observation Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Hankyung","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Atmospheric Environment, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yongin-si 17035, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Hyuk-Gi","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Atmospheric Environment, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yongin-si 17035, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Sukhee","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Atmospheric Environment, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yongin-si 17035, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Hojin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Atmospheric Environment, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yongin-si 17035, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Chaeyeon","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center for Atmospheric Environment, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yongin-si 17035, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"623","DOI":"10.1007\/s11069-015-1987-0","article-title":"Projection of heat wave mortality related to climate change in Korea","volume":"80","author":"Kim","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nat.
