A Digital Twin Framework for Traffic-Aware UAV Pavement Monitoring without Lane Closure
Researchers developed a Unity-based digital twin framework to test UAV-based pavement inspection strategies in simulated traffic conditions without requiring lane closures. The system achieved 99.26% accuracy in detecting road defects using YOLOv8n detection and classification, and identified hover-and-recheck as the most effective strategy for maintaining inspection coverage in high-traffic scenarios.
