Assessing The Benefits Of Cost-Effective Monitoring Technology On Unstable Slopes Sensitive To Weather
DownloadFall 2021
Across Canada, the presence of ground hazards, such as rock falls, rock slides, or earth slides, next to transportation corridors, is a potential risk to transport system users, the infrastructure, and traffic operations. Monitoring instrumentation systems tracking unstable slopes are a key...

There is a growing trend of using unmanned aerial vehicles (also known as UAVs, uncrewed aerial vehicles, or drones) to manipulate and interact with their surroundings. The algorithms and tools used are typically unique to the different tasks performed by UAVs; however, the fundamental UAV system...
