Improving Safety and Efficiency with UAS Infrastructure Inspection
New York State Thruway Authority
$1,000,000
The New York State Thruway is the main highway linking NY’s major cities from New York to Buffalo. The highway was constructed in the 1950’s and is reaching a critical point where much of its infrastructure approaches the end of its useful life. This stage requires frequent and through inspections of bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure to both assure structural integrity and prioritize replacement with a constrained construction budget. Current inspection processes, while effective and fully compliant with FHWA requirements, are time consuming and labor intensive limiting the number of inspections that can be performed each year. The current methods also rely on manual documentation of inspection reports limiting the amount of information included in each report. An added benefit is increased inspection crew safety as UAS are flown from the ground without the need to climb into the structure.
