Integrating Innovation in Bridge Inspections with Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Advanced Analytics
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are revolutionizing data collection for Department of Transportations and structure inspection teams worldwide. Their ability to precisely maneuver and map complex environments is second to none. In this session, we will discuss the advances in UAS and advanced analytics and how these tools are innovating and expanding the possibilities for data collection and lifecycle management to improve the overall safety of our transportation system.
