Civil Infrastructure Health Monitoring and Management Using Unmanned Aerial Systems
Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) offer unparalleled and unprecedented opportunities for performing cost-effective and efficient health monitoring and management of transportation infrastructure systems. This paper introduces a network of UAS that can be utilized to perform an array of tasks such as surveillance, 3-D rendering, high definition (HD) visual monitoring, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) tests, infrared thermography, and non-destructive evaluation (NDE). These methods can be used for monitoring infrastructure defects to accomplish detailed inventory, survey, and condition assessment of transportation infrastructure systems. The modular and multi-purpose nature of UAS wherein UAS can be equipped with a variety of application-specific payloads such as LiDAR and infrared thermal imaging camera resulting in a range of civil and transportation applications is highlighted. Overall, the paper delivers a vision for next-generation, autonomous health monitoring of transportation infrastructure systems using UAS.
