Abstract:

In the last decade, new technologies have transformed all stages of highway construction as more industry stakeholders have begun incorporating new technologies into their daily construction activities. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) has quickly established itself as a transformative technology for highway construction. Many state departments of transportation (DOTs) have embraced its use in a number of applications. The main objectives of this synthesis are to document the use of UAS by state DOTs during highway construction, identify potential benefits and obstacles DOTs face when implementing UAS in highway construction projects, and identify information gaps to be filled that could enable state DOTs to enhance the benefits of UAS for construction-related operations. Information for this study was gathered through a literature review, a survey of state DOTs, and follow-up interviews with selected agencies. Case examples from four agencies provide additional information on UAS usage in those agencies.
