1. Standard route planning workflow
Route planning is automatically completed based on the built 3D model: the system identifies bridge structural features → generates waypoints per member and accuracy requirements → automatically sets shooting parameters → outputs a flyable route. Modeling is the prerequisite for route planning, and modeling and route planning can be completed the same day.
2. Planning duration by bridge type
| Bridge scale | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Routine small/medium bridges | Minutes | Fully automatic generation from 3D model |
| Extra-large bridges | Same-day finalization | Manual fine-tuning after automatic generation |
| Special-structure bridges | Depends on complexity | Control areas need point-by-point verification |
3. Advantage over traditional planning
Traditional manual point-by-point planning relies on site surveys and manual layout, often taking days for a single bridge; RIEJIAN’s automated planning compresses the cycle to minutes, with standardized, reusable routes that significantly reduce project preparation time.
4. Applicable conditions and scenarios
- Initial route design for new inspection projects
- Route reuse and updates for annual re-inspection
- Advance preparation for large-scale road network batch inspection
5. Notes
Route planning depends on the 3D model; bridges without modeling must complete modeling first; routes involving control areas (railway, navigation) must be verified per the competent authority’s access requirements.
