Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to improve the life-cycle management of VDOT’s noise barrier inventory. This project was conducted through (1) field evaluations of the condition and durability of VDOT’s noise barriers, (2) developing a framework for VDOT noise barrier inspection and asset management programs, and (3) conducting trial inspections using unmanned aerial systems (UASs) to gauge their effectiveness of capturing condition data from both sides of noise barriers.
