基于无人机的路面检测可降低道路监测的成本与风险,但在开放交通条件下,车流、行人及临时遮挡仍严重影响缺陷可见性。本文提出一种基于Unity的数字孪生框架,用于交通感知的无人机路面监测。该环境集成程序化生成的道路缺陷、动态交通代理、自主无人机导航,以及多任务YOLOv8n感知模块,可同时检测路面缺陷、行人与车辆,并分类缺陷子类型。经合成域微调后,感知模型在独立合成测试集上取得0.959 [email protected]与0.940宏F1-score。利用数字孪生评估悬停重检、微位移调整与跳过重访等恢复策略在不同交通密度与飞行高度下的表现。结果表明飞行高度显著影响检测覆盖范围,而各恢复策略在覆盖度、任务时长、能耗与重访行为间存在权衡。研究证明数字孪生可有效支持交通感知无人机巡检策略的开发与评估,为实际部署提供依据。完整代码与训练模型已开源:https://github.com/EdwinTSalcedo/RDMO-DigitalTwin。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

UAV-based pavement inspection can reduce the cost and risk of road-surface monitoring, but real-world deployment remains difficult when traffic, pedestrians, and temporary occlusions affect defect visibility. This paper presents a Unity-based digital twin framework for traffic-aware UAV pavement monitoring in open-traffic conditions. The proposed environment integrates procedurally generated road defects, dynamic traffic agents, autonomous UAV navigation, and a multitask YOLOv8n perception module for detecting road defects, pedestrians, and vehicles while classifying road-defect subtypes. After synthetic-domain fine-tuning, the perception model achieved 0.959 [email protected] and 0.940 macro F1-score on a held-out synthetic test set generated from the simulator. The digital twin was then used to evaluate hover-and-recheck, micro-repositioning, and skip-and-revisit recovery strategies across different traffic densities and flight altitudes. Results show that flight altitude strongly affects inspection coverage, while recovery strategies introduce different trade-offs between coverage, mission duration, energy consumption, and revisit behaviour. These findings demonstrate that digital twins can support the development and evaluation of traffic-aware UAV inspection strategies before real-world deployment. The full implementation and trained models are available at https://github.com/EdwinTSalcedo/RDMO-DigitalTwin.
