Abstract

The invention provides an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) bridge inspection tour system. An on-site control platform sets an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight route instruction and sends the UAV flight route instruction to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aerial platform, the UAV aerial platform flies according to the flight route instruction, the on-site control platform sends an information acquisition instruction to the UAV aerial platform when the UAV aerial platform flies to a specified position, and the UAV aerial platform completes bridge information acquisition through an information acquisition business terminal and saves the bridge information data; and the UAV aerial platform sends the bridge information data to a remote monitoring center, and the remote monitoring center analyzes and releases the bridge information data. The system achieves a function of an on-line implementation of autonomous route planning of a to-be-inspected bridge, has the advantage of a wide cover range, has the advantages of being simple, portable, flexible and so on, and can be widely applied to bridge floor inspection tour and other related industries.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bridge maintenance supervision, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle bridge inspection system and inspection method. Background technique

[0002] With the rapid development of expressways in our country and the completion of all 12 national trunk lines of the "five vertical and seven horizontal" national highways, the development focus of the highway industry will gradually shift from "new construction" to "management and maintenance". However, the current traditional bridge inspection mostly uses related special instruments to measure, record, and count various parts of the bridge. During this process, maintenance personnel need to work on the bridge deck, and it is inevitable to ignore some details, which is time-consuming, laborious, inefficient, hinders traffic, has potential safety hazards, and areas that are difficult for personnel to reach. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a s...
