This UAV research utilizes unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with multispectral camera systems. This will allow UAV systems to detect soil moisture content as well as areas of subsidence. By detecting areas of subsidence and high soil moisture content in the areas of roadside highway embankments preventative maintenance and repair can be done on roadside areas before actual highway infrastructure damage occurs. This UAS facilitated preventative maintenance can result in significant cost savings in infrastructure repair and also prevent accidents from landslides and other subsidence related events.
