Accession Number: 01739362
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Monitoring bridge displacements under freight traffic can provide bridge managers with an objective indicator of bridge safety and performance, but obtaining an accurate and safe measurement is difficult. As part of the Transportation Research Board’s Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) Program, the University of New Mexico (UNM) developed a drone-mounted bridge displacement measurement tool that allows inspectors to collect contact-free, reference-free displacements of bridges under revenue service traffic. This article describes the development of the drone system including challenges, field tests, and future research phases.
