Abstract

Weather phenomena including wind, rain, fog, storms, etc. have large influence on road transport by reducing the speed and capacity by 5–40% in moderate cases and up to 100% in case of extreme weather situations. The existing weather service systems cannot provide accurate local weather nowcasting, because of their prediction processes, and a lack of actual measured information in the atmospheric boundary layer. Technology is ready for the development and introduction of drone-based mobile automatic weather stations to support improved road weather management. This systematic review evaluates the readiness of the required technologies through surveying a wide range of papers dealing with the introduction of drone based meteorological measurements and their utilization for road weather management. It identifies the requirements of such systems, analyses the applicability of drones for weather monitoring and nowcasting, studies the required specification of drones and their instrumentations and investigates the possible realization of planned measurements. The review results show that (i) significant societal-economic value can be generated with the improvement of nowcasting and forecasting systems for road users (ii) technology is ready for the development and introduction of new road weather monitoring and management services, however UAV weather tolerance must be improved (iii) new concepts and software solutions are required for processing the measured data and rapid sharing of nowcasting information.

基于小型无人机的气象测量在道路天气管理中的应用综述

风、雨、雾、风暴等天气现象对道路运输有很大影响，在中等情况下会使速度和运力降低5-40%，在极端天气情况下会使速度和运力降低100%。现有的天气服务系统由于其预报过程和缺乏大气边界层的实际测量信息，无法提供准确的局地天气临近预报。技术已经准备好开发和引入基于无人机的移动自动气象站，以支持改进的道路天气管理。本系统综述通过调查大量涉及无人机气象测量及其在道路天气管理中的应用的论文，评估了所需技术的准备情况。它确定了这些系统的需求，分析了无人机在天气监测和临近预报中的适用性，研究了无人机及其仪器的要求规格，并调查了计划测量的可能实现。审查结果表明:(i)改善道路使用者的临近预报和预报系统可以产生重大的社会经济价值;(ii)开发和引入新的道路天气监测和管理服务的技术已经准备就绪，但是必须提高无人机的天气耐受性;(iii)需要新的概念和软件解决方案来处理测量数据和快速共享临近预报信息。
