| 摘要： | Bridges are a key part of our transportation system and maintaining this infrastructure is important to ensure the safety of the traveling public and to effectively manage these valuable assets. Safety inspections not only ensure the structural integrity of a bridge but provide valuable data to decision makers. The Minnesota Department of Transportation and Collins Engineers, Inc. has completed this third phase of research focused on utilizing drones as a tool for improving the quality of bridge inspections. The previous phases focused on the rules and regulations, drone hardware and the ability of drones to collect quality inspection data. This phase of research has identified new drone technology and methods to address limitations identified in Phase II. More importantly, this research phase has focused on the value of data collected during the inspection and finding ways to process the data into actionable inspection deliverables that greatly improve the quality of the inspections. These inspection deliverables better communicate the inspection results to bridge owners and engineers. Our world is being transformed by technology including drones that can collect, process, store, and analyze large amounts of data and this research is applying the same transformative concepts and technology to improve bridge inspection outcomes. |
