Utilizing Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Infrastructure Management
项目名称: Utilizing Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Infrastructure Management
摘要: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of utilizing unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to inspect, inventory, and monitor interchange assets along the New Jersey roadway network. The team will use video and photographic data collected by UAS to perform preliminary inspections on multiple components of the interchange including: signage, roadway markings, barrier island, and asphalt condition. Along with data collected on the individual assets, the team will collect aerial imagery data of each interchange as a cohesive unit. These images will be processed and rendered into a three-dimensional model. This three dimensional environment could provide additional insight into the interchange as a whole, which may not have been noticeable with conventional two-dimensional images. This project could result in a training program for engineers regarding the best practices of how to implement UAS into their interchange inspections. It could provide additional information regarding flight planning, image distances, sensor types, altitude, and safe distances necessary for a safe and productive inspection.
