Project title: Application of 5G Technologies in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Base Stations
Project No: 08-004-K-0016
The project's goal - to demonstrate and conduct the final testing and evaluation of unmanned aerial vehicle base station systems and mini-class unmanned aerial vehicle and charging station systems supported by 5G technology and intended for monitoring urban transport infrastructure. This project aims to modify base stations by integrating 5G technology and to fully automatically monitor urban transport infrastructure and provide statistical data using advanced photogrammetry and intelligent image recognition technologies. The project will result in the world's first base station system supported by 5G technology capable of fully automatically changing drone batteries for drones weighing up to 1 kg. Currently, there are no such base station systems in the world.
5G technology forms broad opportunities for market innovation, one of which is the operating principle of the products proposed in this project, based on the transmission of transport infrastructure monitoring data via 5G connection. Drones supported by 5G and artificial intelligence will be a sought-after product in the market, considering that cities, especially those aiming for smartness, seek to better utilize transport infrastructure and integrate it into smart traffic flow and infrastructure management systems.
