RAPID: Data collection and curation of SR-530 mudslide with small unmanned aerial vehicles

该项目对小型无人机系统进行研究，同时保护救援人员的安全，这些救援人员将至少在明年在华盛顿奥索附近的2014年SR530泥石流中工作，以修复现场和修复道路。这些航班还有助于提高斯蒂尔瓜米什河其他部分居民的安全。小型固定翼和旋翼无人机系统用于对泥石流和河流难以进入的区域进行纵向调查。8月和11月的调查，结合早期的即时响应飞行，捕捉了泥石流和河流随时间的演变状态，验证了河流和泥石流如何随季节变化的模型，完善了新的地质和水文模型，并预测了2015年春季继续发生滑坡和洪水的可能性，这些可能会影响到SR530的居民和其他部分。该研究为机器人和网络物理系统社区提供了在不受控制的天气条件下的小型无人机系统性能数据，为人机交互社区提供了来自不同机构的用户如何与机器人数据交互，并为大数据提供了数据集，以探索如何最好地存档、管理和可视化数据。该研究正在指导新型小型无人机系统的设计，以支持对情况进行快速或经济有效的地理空间重建的应用，例如应急响应和关键基础设施检查。

This project conducts research on small unmanned aerial systems while protecting the safety of recovery workers who will be working at the 2014 SR530 mudslide near Oso, Washington, for at least the next year to remediate the site and repair the road. The flights also help increase the safety of residents along other portions of the Stillaguamish River. A small fixed-wing and a rotorcraft unmanned aerial system are used to conduct longitudinal surveys of the inaccessible region of the mudslide and river. The surveys in August and November, combined with earlier flights during the immediate response, capture the evolving state of the mudslide and river over time, validate the models of how the river and mudslide are expected to change over the seasons, refine new geological and hydrological models, and predict the potential for continuing sloughing and flooding that will impact residents and other sections of SR530 in the spring of 2015. The research is providing the robotics and cyber-physical systems communities with small unmanned aerial systems performance data under uncontrolled weather conditions, the human-robot interaction community with how users from different agencies interact with the robot data, and Big Data with datasets to explore how to best archive, curate, and visualize data over time. The research is guiding the design of new small unmanned aerial systems to support applications where rapid or cost-effective geospatial reconstruction of the situation is important, such as emergency response and critical infrastructure inspection.
