低空无人机技术在铁路行业的应用与展望
Application and Prospect of Low-Altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Technology in Railway Industry
摘要
Abstract
With the rapid development of the low-altitude economy(LAE)and the expansion of"unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV+)"applications,low-altitude UAVs have emerged as an innovative technical solution across various industries,leveraging advantages such as high manoeuvrability,multi-sensor integration,high efficiency,and low operational costs.The railway sector,being a critical component of national transport infrastructure,faces increasingly demanding requirements in areas such as engineering construction,operational inspection,emergency response,and safety management.This has heightened the potential application of low-altitude UAV technology within the industry.This paper provided a systematic review of the current applications and development trends of low-altitude UAV technology,with a focus on its application requirements,technical framework,and typical scenarios in the railway sector.It further examined existing challenges,including insufficient multi-source data fusion,limitations in communication and endurance,issues concerning safety reliability and data quality,a mismatch between model accuracy and railway-specific requirements,as well as shortcomings in policy regulations and professional expertise.Based on this analysis,the study on low-altitude UAV technology proposed strategies such as deeper integration of cutting-edge technologies including 5G communications,artificial intelligence,and cloud computing;the establishment of cross-departmental collaboration mechanisms,and the advancement of standardisation systems,regulatory improvements,and talent development.These measures aim to support the intelligentization,informatization,and digital transformation of railway systems,thereby contributing to high-quality development in the railway industry.关键词
