I believe everyone has a deep understanding of the convenience that UAVs bring to people’s lives. With the characteristics of low cost, easy manipulation, high flexibility and low-altitude flight, it can be used in forest fire prevention, logistics transportation, public security law enforcement, land surveying and mapping, fire rescue, etc. fields have been extensively applied.
The role of drones in urban traffic management:
1. Speed up urban traffic inspection work. UAVs can greatly speed up urban traffic inspections, complete inspections faster and more accurately than humans, improve work efficiency, and reduce the time and cost of traffic management.
2. More accurate data collection. UAVs can collect more accurate data, including traffic congestion and traffic safety, which can better help city managers identify existing management problems more accurately and quickly, so as to better implement effective solutions.
3. Improve the security situation of the city. UAVs can provide more vision, discover urban safety hazards more quickly, and detect suspicious behaviors, thereby improving urban security and reducing safety accidents.
4. Effective management of urban traffic conditions. UAVs can help city managers effectively plan and manage urban traffic, collect accurate traffic data, effectively control traffic congestion, improve traffic operation efficiency, and improve urban traffic conditions.
Application of drones in urban traffic management:
1. Traffic inspection
When traffic jams and jams are found, the command center will issue tasks, and after the dispatch center receives the tasks, the UAV will plan the route and execute the tasks autonomously. The UAV can be equipped with a visible light camera and a megaphone module to detect road traffic conditions at high altitude, and transmit it back to the traffic police command center in real time. According to the returned image, the command center makes an accurate judgment and remotely commands the traffic through the megaphone.
2. Highway disease patrol
UAV-based disease detection mainly uses UAVs equipped with the latest flight control system, intelligent control, and autonomous inspection technology to formulate automatic inspection lines based on structural inspection points for dangerous locations that are difficult to reach manually during road and bridge inspections. Automatically captures the detection points. At the same time, the analysis module is used to analyze the disease in real time, and the analysis results are superimposed on the video stream and transmitted to the command center in real time through the private network.
3. Emergency on-site command and disposal
Traffic inspection drones can be equipped with different mission modules such as megaphones, sirens, and traffic command lights, and can arrive at the scene faster before road law enforcement officers arrive at the scene to perform dispatching and command tasks. Traffic management personnel can use smart drones The equipped traffic control equipment directly directs and clears the on-site traffic.
4. Bridge and tunnel inspection
In the expressway, bridges and tunnels have many complex and staggered concealed spatial structures, and there are blind spots and more occlusions. UAVs can cover the space under bridges, bridge culverts, tunnel slopes, and patrol blind spots of facilities above tunnels to ensure There is no illegal construction or construction that endangers the safety of highway bridges.
