Multidirectional use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the area of safety
The paper presents a wide range of possibilities for the use of drones in terms of human safety, the environment and technical facilities. In accordance with the concept of the paper, these areas are divided into four main sources of hazards and in each of these cases the possibilities of using an unmanned aircraft are presented. Hazards caused by flooding, the environment, a fire and those occurring on construction sites are subject to analysis. The main aim of the paper was to mark areas of hazard using a grid superimposed on a map of an area by a specialised drone camera. Based on this information, it is possible to define a risk map of hazards to people and property. In the case of flooding, the depth of the river spillway was determined according to the width of the river channel, in this case affecting the safety of residents of a town. For the environmental aspect, the surface area of a water table and its depth in the area of fields, meadows and pastures were determined. This is also important from the agricultural point of view, including determining the extent of crop damage. In the case of a fire, the use of a drone enabled the assessment of the damaged surface of a building as a result of high temperatures, including the construction of a situation plan related to the assessment of the building’s structure in the context of its continued use. The final area is the safety of a construction site. Here, in turn, an important objective was to map the occupational risks for those working there and, in particular, to identify the sources of dangerous, harmful and nuisance factors. All of the diagrams presented confirmed the widespread use of UAVs in the diagnosis of occupational safety levels. With this technology, it is easier to diagnose sources of hazards and develop preventive measures.
