Webinar

TRB Webinar: Implementation of Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) into Transportation Infrastructure Inspection

April 30, 2025

1:00 PM - 2:30 PM (ET)

Past

About

The capabilities of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), or “drones,” have advanced rapidly, making them increasingly practical for transportation agencies. TRB hosted a webinar on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that shared leading applications of UAS to help provide safe and efficient infrastructure assessment capabilities. One of these applications is enhancing the safety and efficiency of infrastructure inspections. Presenters shared three case studies: one on bridge inspection, another on airport pavement inspection, and a third on construction modeling.

This webinar featured research from NCHRP Research Report 1114: Uncrewed Aerial Systems Applications for Bridge Inspections: Element-Level Bridge Data Collection, NCHRP Synthesis 578: Use of Unmanned Aerial Systems for Highway Construction, and NCHRP Domestic Scan 17-01: Successful Approaches tor the Use of Unmanned Aerial Systems by Surface Transportation Agencies.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program and the Standing Technical Committee on New Users of Shared Airspace.

The slides are available. Please contact trbwebinar@nas.edu for a link to the recording. There may be a $90 fee.

Webinar agenda and presenters

Eyes in the sky: Unlocking airfield pavement inspection with sUAS – Halil Ceylan, Iowa State University
UAS for construction inspection and building information modeling – Reihaneh Samsami, University of New Haven
UAS have changed Ohio DOT bridge inspection – Jamie Davis, Ohio Department of Transportation
Question and answer session moderated by Colin Brooks, Michigan Technological University

The first 60 minutes of the webinar were for presentations and the final 30 minutes were reserved for audience questions.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this webinar, participants can:

Leverage UAS technology to assist infrastructure inspection
Identify how UAS technology deployment can help reduce time and costs and increase safety for inspections
Understand which sensors and platforms are being used for infrastructure inspection

Symposium

ACRP Insight Event: Airport Energy Preparedness

April 30 - May 1, 2025

Past

About

Airports are facing an increasing number of challenges and opportunities as they strive to expand energy preparedness. They will be competing with their tenants, customers, and surrounding communities for electricity to power everything from building systems to electric aircraft. Increased dependence on energy infrastructure will make airports more vulnerable to power disruptions, while upgrades to airports' power systems and the nation’s power grid will take time and come with significant costs.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this webinar, participants can:

Consider whether existing infrastructure foundations are suitable to be reused as part of a new structure
Identify uncertainties in subsurface, layout, and foundation element geometry and conditions
Understand how international agencies have managed and considered risk-based decision making
