Sažetak
The shortcomings of classical methods for inspection of transport infrastructure objects have led to the development of more efficient, more reliable, faster and cheaper procedures for condition assessment and load-bearing capacity and service life estimation of objects. In this context, different autonomous systems developed in the last decade have the most notable role and their development is continuously speeding up. This paper provides a state of the art review of the unmanned aerial vehicles application for structural inspection with a focus on bridges. The paper comprises the following: a review of the current regulations prescribing the types and frequency of inspections; a review of the current classical inspection methods with their advantages and disadvantages; analysis of advantages and disadvantages in application of unmanned aerial vehicles for bridge inspections and a review of the equipment commonly used in their development.
