Digital technologies for remote control and monitoring in road construction

Abstract

The use of UAVs is becoming more pressing than ever with the ever-increasing need for computerization and digitalization in the construction industry. The article discusses the issues of effective use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the process of road construction and subsequent operation of linear capital construction projects. The study is devoted to identifying the practical capabilities of UAV technologies for their effective use in the realities of a construction site. The process of studying scientific publications is based on the descriptive method of scientific research, analysis of specialized literature in the field of construction production and the study of world experience in the practical use of UAV technologies. The article identifies the possibilities of unmanned technology for monitoring, controlling material and financial costs, reducing the level of injuries, solving environmental problems that arise during the period of road construction and during the operation of linear objects, as well as their repair or reconstruction. The authors identified some limitations and forty-one additional capabilities of unmanned aerial technologies. Eight criteria require improvement of the technological equipment used in the process of comprehensive monitoring of the quality of the construction process by unmanned aerial vehicles.
