Inspection of the Railway Infrastructure with the Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Journal Title: Archives of Transport System Telematics - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The Transport Certification Centre at the Faculty of Transportation of the Warsaw University of Technology launched a research and development project under the name “Dron-monitor”, which aimed to perform stocktaking and examine the technical condition of the railway infrastructure using unmanned aerial vehicles UAV. The assumption of the project was to create digital documentation of the railway infrastructure, which will enable an objective and impartial assessment of the infrastructure elements. The article presents the results of the conducted project and displays the considerations regarding the suitability of the applied method for the needs of conducting stocktaking and testing the technical condition of the railway infrastructure with the use of UAV.
