Abstract
The developments in the field of pilotless transport and equipment act as one of the modern and most perspective directions of the development of modern science and technology. The vehicles, equipped with the system of automatic control, are able to move in the space on the basis of the set algorithm of actions and the instant analysis of the surrounding situation. Thus, they have great prospects of the use in various spheres and will allow to lower the expenses of human labour, accident rate and fuel consumption. The identification of prospects and directions of the use of the pilotless and automated vehicles in construction projects is carried out in this article on the example of road construction. Studying of the existing developments of the pilotless equipment has already allowed to simulate the process of carrying out some earthwork with the use of (Unmanned aerial vehicles) UAVs. As the introduction of the pilotless vehicles and equipment demands some investment expenses, the economic efficiency of the project is calculated. The result of the calculation of the economy, gained with the use of the pilotless equipment has proved the efficiency of such investments.
Highlights
One of the modern and extremely perspective directions of the development of science and modern technologies, which is able to find its application in various branches of the economy, is pilotless transport
This research was devoted to the analysis of modern developments in the field of the pilotless construction equipment, as well as the opportunities and the prospects of its use during implementation of construction projects
During the research the authors succeeded to carry out the following objectives: 1) to define and analyse the existing projects of the use of the pilotless equipment in road construction; 2) to simulate the process of road construction with the use of Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the basis of the existing developments in the field of the pilotless construction equipment; 3) to carry out the assessment of economic efficiency of the use of the pilotless equipment in road construction
Summary
One of the modern and extremely perspective directions of the development of science and modern technologies, which is able to find its application in various branches of the economy, is pilotless transport. The vehicles, equipped with the system of automatic control, able to move and perform certain functions without direct participation of the human, can find their application in both in passenger and freight transportation, during performing construction works, production operations, etc. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used in archeology for exploring of the territory, video surveillance and aerial photography, in the military and prospecting purposes. The considerable prospects of the use of UAVs for geological exploration, for cargo delivery, for carrying out inspection of various systems (for example, during inspection on the existence of damages to various structures), for the survey of remote and dangerous objects are noted. UAVs can be used for monitoring of the process of carrying out any works
