Description
Summary:Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), referred to as drones, can offer many conveniences for carrying out surveillance activities and surveying road conditions by minimizing human interaction in the field during the Covid 19 pandemic,. So far, road condition surveys are still based on manual field observations,. It requires a long time to take documentation and measure road distress. It could disrupt traffic flow, especially on relatively narrow roads, and surveyor safety on particular roads. In this paper conducted a survey of road conditions during the pandemic using drone. The results showed that a survey of road distress using a drone for 1 km could be carried out in 1 hour by 4 people, requiring 5-8 hours to process data to produce orthophoto products that can be used for identification, inventory, and classification 9 types of road distress in Indonesia research sites. Furthermore, the dimensions of road distress were calculated faster and resulted in accuracy above 97% compared to measurements in the field.
