Integration of Unmanned Systems over the Life Cycle of Construction Projects

2016年，南阿尔伯塔理工学院（SAIT）和PCL Constructors Inc.合作开展了一项研究项目，该项目由NSERC参与资助计划资助，旨在探索和验证无人机（uav）在建筑项目管理中的使用。SAIT对无人机的调查测试和操作，也被称为无人机，在一个建筑项目上，实现了有效的工地监控，并根据高清图像传感器捕获的建成信息提供非常详细的可视化施工进度报告，因此行业合作伙伴PCL能够更新所有项目利益相关者的项目进度。在之前对无人机在建筑项目监测中的应用进行调查的基础上，SAIT和PCL提议启动另一个研究项目，旨在了解和调查将无人系统集成到建筑项目生命周期中的最佳实践。拟议的项目结果预计将使PCL能够为无人系统应用开发过程战略和实践，并实现在建设项目的不同阶段将创新技术与其操作集成的目标。**********

In 2016, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) and PCL Constructors Inc. collaborated on a research project, funded by NSERC Engage Grant Program, to explore and validate the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in construction project management. SAIT's investigative testing and operation of UAVs, also known as drones, on one construction project enabled effective jobsite monitoring and the delivery of very detailed visual construction progress reports based on as-built information captured by high-definition imagery sensors, and thus the industry partner PCL was able to update all the project stakeholders on the project progress. Building upon the previous investigation on the application of drones in construction projects monitoring, SAIT and PCL are proposing to launch another research project aiming to understand and investigate the best practices for integrating unmanned systems into the life cycle of a construction project. The proposed project results are expected to enable PCL to develop process strategies and practices for the unmanned system application and achieve the goal of integrating the innovative technology with its operations at different stages of construction projects. **********
