- Abstract:
- Linear assets have linear properties, for instance, similar underlying geometry and characteristics over a distance. They show specific patterns of continuous inherent deteriorations and failures. Therefore, remedial inspection and maintenance actions will be similar along the length of a linear asset, but because it is distributed over a large area, the execution costs are greater.
Autonomous robots can be programmed for repetitive and specific tasks. Unmanned aerial vehicles and remotely operated vehicles are currently used in different industrial settings in ad-hoc manner for inspection and maintenance purposes.
This manuscript provides a conceptual framework for the use of autonomous inspection and maintenance practices for linear assets to reduce maintenance costs, human involvement, etc., whilst improving the availability of linear assets by effective utilization of autonomous robots and data from different sources. - Download:
