Bridge inspection: human performance, unmanned aerial systems and automation

回顾美国桥梁巡检实践，以及无人和自动化方法如何满足当前和未来的需求。文章发现，无人机主要让巡检人员更快、更安全，并可在不封闭车道的情况下巡检。主要障碍是 FAA 规则、无 GPS 导航、飞手成本与可用性、部署和维护时间、数据后处理，以及业主对数据的接受程度。

主要发现

• Drones currently assist inspectors rather than replace them
• Listed barriers: FAA regulation, GPS-denied navigation, pilot cost, setup/maintenance time, post-processing, owner acceptance
• Autonomous flight plus near-real-time image processing seen as the route to reusable 3D models and automatic damage identification

局限

• Abstract only reviewed
• U.S.-specific regulatory and programme context
