Description

Technical Field

[0002] As a key foundation of the transportation system, the safety and durability of highways are directly related to the smoothness of traffic and the travel safety of citizens. However, various diseases will inevitably occur during the use of highways, such as cracks, potholes, spalling, etc. These diseases not only affect the flatness of the highway and the driving comfort, but also may pose safety hazards to vehicles and pedestrians. The traditional highway disease inspection mode mainly relies on direct on-site observation and manual recording by workers. This method is not only inefficient and consumes a large amount of human resources, but also is extremely vulnerable to the subjective judgment and experience level of the inspection personnel. Due to individual differences and fatigue and other factors, the inspection results are often inconsistent, resulting in large errors and omissions in the process of discovering, identifying, and diagnosing highway diseases. According to incomplete statistics, it takes at least several weeks or even longer to complete a complete inspection cycle for a comprehensive disease detection on a 100-kilometer-long highway using the traditional inspection method. Moreover, even at such an inspection intensity, the accuracy rate of disease identification is often less than 80%, which is difficult to meet the high standards of highway maintenance requirements.
