However, industry players lack strong experience and knowledge about the capabilities of airborne sensors, or information about the limitations of sensors combining with UAV. Another important point is the methodological aspects of airborne sensors application — how to plan UAV flights, data processing, expected precision of localization, etc. To fill the gaps, we at SPH Engineering built a test range with buried utilities (pipes) of different diameter, material and depth, as well as other objects, and conducted extensive tests of different available sensors over known targets.","PeriodicalId":418930,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 2nd Conference on Geophysics for Infrastructure Planning, Monitoring and BIM","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132543280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In projects trying to understand the contamination situation the number of different datasets is often large and of many different data types. On a former gasworks facility in a railway yard, in Bracke in Sweden, many different methods were used, aiming at understanding the spread of primarily tar and PAH contaminants. Some of the methods were geotechnical sounding and sampling, chemical laboratory tests and DCIP. From the start a BIM methodology was chosen to ensure good order of the data also in the longer perspective. The GeoBIM tool was used for data management and for visualization of both data and geomodels using only a web browser, allowing all involved stakeholders to get access to the same information. For allowing not only visual joint interpretation but also automated and advanced comparisons and analyses of the whole data set all data was classified in the CoClass system. CoClass is a hierarchical system allowing computers to sort and analyze data according to a standardized system. The BIM approach applying CoClass on the data managed by the GeoBIM concept clearly improved the ability of analyzing the data.","PeriodicalId":418930,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 2nd Conference on Geophysics for Infrastructure Planning, Monitoring and BIM","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126425451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most common procedure to obtain information from the interior layers of the infrastructure is drilling holes in the road. However, these diagnostic tools are destructive, expensive and slow. Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) brings considerable advantages for the detection of pathologies in inner layers of the road, such as cracks in the wearing course, buried holes and settlement problems providing high-quality images of the radar signal in the interior of the structures. The objectives of the research were to carry out a study with the GPR technique of degraded road pavements to delineate the lateral and depth extent of the cracks and to identify the most problematic areas of the 1 km studied segment.

Therefore, it is essential to resort a tack coat where the wearing course and the binder course connect, so that they work as a monolithic block. The purpose of this study, carried out by using gprMax software, is to identify a thin millimetric subsurface tack coat from a modelled bilayer of bitumen and to differentiate the signals according to the modifications of some parameters like thickness, permittivity and conductivity. The so generated large database of time signals with diverse geometric and dielectric characteristics will enable to classify the datas by a supervised machine learning method namely, Support Vector Machines (SVM). Among existing methods, the algorithm of Two-Class SVM (TCSVM) allows to split the datas in two distinct classes. One data set is described as the “adhered” class, and another as the “non adhered” class. The supervised machine learning is conducted with a resolution by global approach to use the raw data set, without any pre-processing. Finally, the binary classification appears then as a promising method to identify clearly and automatically the presence of a tack coat.","PeriodicalId":418930,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 2nd Conference on Geophysics for Infrastructure Planning, Monitoring and BIM","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122169675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
