Abstract:The U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) conducts Global Benchmarking Program (GBP) studies to assess, evaluate, and implement global innovations in key technology areas to help the nation respond to 21st century highway transportation challenges. FHWA initiated the GBP study on the “Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to Enhance the Design, Construction, Inspection, and Maintenance of Transportation Infrastructure” in 2019. The purpose of the study was to learn about mature UAS applications in advanced digital project delivery and contactless practices conducted by international experts. The goal of the study was to identify opportunities to adopt UAS to enhance the design, construction, inspection, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure, thereby benefiting the U.S. highway transportation and digital construction sectors. In this report, UAS refers to unmanned and remotely piloted aircraft systems weighing less than 55 lbs. in the U.S. or less than 25 kg in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and Germany.
