What Is A Drone Road Survey?
A drone road survey is a method of collecting high-resolution aerial data of road networks and the surrounding landscape. Utilizing advanced drone technology, this kind of survey captures images and videos from vantage points that would be unreachable or cost-prohibitive with traditional surveying methods.
By processing these images, detailed 2D maps and 3D models of the road and associated assets can be created. Information such as road conditions, traffic patterns, topography, and asset inventory can be accurately captured, aiding in the maintenance, improvement, and planning of road infrastructure.
Drone road surveys are hailed for their speed, cost-effectiveness, safety, and the comprehensive data they provide.
