Research of swamps in logistic purposes using the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS)

The selection of the optimal location of routes on a swamp massif is based on the use of landscape-hydrological approach, which provides the assessment of durability characteristics in various types of swamp microlandscapes. The paper presents the durability characteristics of the swamp field depending on the hydrological regime of oligotrophic swamps. The genetic classification of swamps is consistent with the engineering classification of peatlands, according to which swamps are distributed by the nature of movement of construction vehicles on them. The selection of the route on the frozen flat-bumpy swamp was made using the DJI Phantom 3 drone, the DJI Go program for controlling the shooting process, and the Agisoft Photoscan program for processing the obtained materials. The use of this hardware-software complex allows to build a digital terrain model of the marshes, as well as the orthophoto of the area, and in accordance with local wetland landscape, to select the optimal route of special vehicles movement in harmony with the supporting capability of the swamp.
