Evaluation of UAV–CRP Data for Monitoring Transportation Infrastructure Constructed over Expansive Soils
Abstract Application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for civil infrastructure monitoring has gained impetus owing to the advancement of aerial platforms paralleled with the development of sophisticated sensors. Photogrammetry is the science of measuring distances from two or more images, and close-range photogrammetry (CRP) is a part of photogrammetry that involves calculating measurements of an object within a maximum distance of 305 m away from the inspecting sensors. Geotechnical problems including differential heaving and related cracking of expansive soils cause extensive damage to pavement infrastructure. Feasibility of using UAV–CRP technology in health monitoring of pavement infrastructure constructed over problematic soils has been comprehensively studied, and this paper presents an overview of these results. Pavement performance data including longitudinal and transverse slopes, as well as distress conditions such as pavement surface cracking, pothole formation, and rutting or excessive deformation, are monitored via UAV–CRP technology, and these data sets are comprehensively analysed. UAV–CRP-interpreted performance indicators showed a very good agreement with those obtained from traditional methods surveys and profiler studies. With the further research, the UAV–CRP technology will play an important engineering role in safe, inexpensive and comprehensive health monitoring of infrastructure built over problematic soil conditions.
