A Review of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Applications In The Road Surveying

Abstract

Road transport is a must as it provides ample facilities benefits to a country
and to individuals, especially in improving access to places jobs, economic resources,
educational facilities, health centers and more. Behind the importance of
transportation to the population, there is also a negative effect, namely, road
accidents. The cause of an accident can be done by various factors. One of those
factors is road design. This paper presents a review of recent developments in relation
to the application of UAVs in three major domains of transportation, namely; road
safety, traffic monitoring and highway infrastructure inspection. This study, includes
data collection, data analysis, and results. Advance application of UAVs in extracting
key information which will be utilized in accident investigation and assessment,
traffic flow analysis and damage assessment roads. To further enhance the knowledge
of the advantages of this UAV. In addition, the private sector especially needs to apply
the use of this UAV for their company to increase the skilled manpower for the use
of this UAV while accelerating all the processes that will be carried out especially in
the surveying sector.
