Highway Patrol & Inspection Solution

Overview

Autel Robotics Highway Inspection Solution integrates multi-rotor UAVs, tilt-rotor UAVs, Nests, and the AICS to transform highway O&M. By automating the inspection of critical assets, it builds a closed loop of “Unattended Inspection + Intelligent Scheduling + Real-Time Decision-Making,” delivering smarter, safer, and more cost-effective highway management.

Pain Points

Inefficient Highway Inspections

Extensive highway facilities like guardrails and traffic signs make manual inspections time-consuming and lead to delayed status updates.
High Maintenance Costs

Real-time supervision is needed for construction progress and safety risks, but slow response impact traffic efficiency.
Urgent Need for Digital Transformation

Traditional highway inspection and maintenance methods are costly, highlighting the need for new technologies to cut costs and boost efficiency.

Business Value

Higher Auto-Inspection Efficiency

UAVs follow preset routes to perform 24/7 unattended inspections. Supported by gimbals with HD and IR cameras, inspection efficiency is vastly improved compared to manual inspections.
Fewer Manpower Requirements

UAV operations replace intensive manual inspections, cutting manpower input by >50%.
‌‌Lower Maintenance Costs

UAVs detect potholes, guardrail damage, and slope shifts early, preventing small issues from becoming major repairs. This lowers overall maintenance costs and extends highway service life.
