UAV in Transport Construction

Summary

The course builds on the issues of transport construction taught in previous forms of study. Among other things, the student will get acquainted with new technologies that are increasingly used in transport constructions. Attention will be focused in particular on the use of UAV in linear structures such as local roads, highways, level and grade-separated intersections, including railway structures. Finally, attention will be given to the use of UAV in bridge structures. Students will learn the capabilities of these systems in the preparation of transportation structures, during the construction itself, and then in the use of the completed structure.
