| 摘要： | Virginia highway high-mast light poles must be inspected periodically for structural defects to prevent failures. The visual inspection methods currently used include use of binoculars and telescopes and up-close inspection with bucket trucks. These methods, while simple, do not provide a continuous visual record of the inspection for archive and referral. Furthermore, they do not provide a thorough inspection near the pole-top bucket trucks cannot reach this high, and the view angle of ground-based optical equipment does not allow for a clear picture of the pole face. This research project has produced a more thorough, ground-implemented inspection method which combines a video record of the inspection with the potential capacity to perform more detailed inspection methods. The built-in ring lowering system for maintenance of the lights, which includes the winch/cable/lighting ring hardware within the pole, is used to mount a video camera support structure that wirelessly transmits data from multiple cameras to a ground-based laptop computer. This laptop computer is used to wirelessly control the camera operation, record video data, and perform calculations to estimate and record crack dimensions and location. |
