Abstract:The NextGen Air Transportation Program (NGAT) at North Carolina State University (NCSU) collaborated with the NCDOT departments (Location and Surveys, Photogrammetry, Aviation, etc.) to analyze the potential role of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in transportation environments such as structural inspections, small area surveys, rockslide assessments, and other situations. This project provided insight into UAS integration as an additional tool for situational assessment and surveying during inspection activities, especially for smaller areas and difficult to reach places. Multiple aircraft were used for data capture. Data sets captured included orthophotos, DEMs, traffic videos, thermal imagery, and flight logs.
