PRACTICAL USE OF THE DRONES IN TRAFFIC ENGINEERING

Abstract

The current trend is the development of all technologies, including the use andapplication of drones. Drones are a boon in many industries and a helper in any humanendeavor that seeks to make work easier more efficient and more accountable.Transport infrastructure which is an important elite sector is a great ally for the use andapplication of drones. The development of this technology in all sectors of transport is avery beneficial tool for improving the environment within the transport infrastructure aswell as for increasing the level of transport quality.Therefore an essential part of the design of new buildings is the best possible use ofmodern technologies that are economically acceptable and efficient at the same time.We are talking about unmanned aerial vehicles which have a wide range of applicationseven outside of transport structures. Today it is about the use of drones in all phases ofdesign and construction. A preliminary survey involves monitoring and identifyingpotential risks for future construction. And during construction drones are used tomonitor the construction site and the construction work itself. The use of thistechnology is particularly suitable for diagnosing the condition of the transportinfrastructure.The most common monitoring methods are audits (irregularities, cracks and damage onthe road) and the use of thermography to assess the thermal effect of traffic, especiallyin parking lots and bypasses near cities.
