1. Why is a dock not suitable for bridge inspection?
Bridge inspection cycles are mostly one month, one quarter or even 1-3 years, far lower than the high-frequency needs of traffic inspection, so a fixed dock is used extremely infrequently with poor return on investment. Current mainstream dock platforms (such as DJI docks) have limited payload and cannot carry RIEJIAN’s high-resolution camera and under-bridge navigation module, and cannot support operations in GPS-denied areas under the girder.
2. What scenarios suit a dock better?
Fixed docks suit high-frequency scenarios such as road debris and traffic congestion patrols that may occur every day. For infrastructure inspections like bridges, the dock solution is currently a pseudo-need.
3. How are dispersed bridges served?
| Scenario | Solution |
|---|---|
| High-frequency traffic inspection | Fixed dock applicable |
| Bridge inspection (low frequency) | Multiple batteries + vehicle transfer |
| Dispersed bridges | On-site service + portable equipment |
4. Applicable conditions and scenarios
- Dock can be evaluated for high-frequency, routine traffic patrol scenarios
- Bridge inspection uses multiple battery rotation and vehicle transfer
- Specific solutions evaluated by project scenario
5. Notes
If exploring a dock solution, evaluate return on investment on the premise of high-frequency business scenarios; bridge inspection still relies mainly on on-site operations and vehicle transfer.
