Design of Operational UAV Scheme for High-Altitude Passenger Ropeway Inspection

The operational UAV is a new equipment for high-altitude facility detection, especially for high-altitude long-span ropeway. Compared to traditional manual inspection methods, the operational UAV can provide many advantages such as high inspection efficiency, low safety risks, and comprehensive coverage. In this paper, the current application status of UAV inspection is discussed firstly. Then, the technical characteristics of operational UAVs for high-altitude ropeway inspection are analyzed. Thirdly, the schemes of the operation UAV for high-altitude passenger ropeway inspection is proposed. Finally, simulation results verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.
