⚡✨⚡Digital Reconstruction Method for Low-Illumination Road Traffic Accident Scenes Using UAV and Auxiliary Equipment
by Xinyi Zhang, Zhiwei Guan, Xiaofeng Liu

💡In low-illumination environments, traditional traffic accident survey methods struggle to obtain high-quality data. This paper proposes a traffic accident reconstruction method utilizing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and auxiliary equipment. Firstly, a methodological framework for investigating traffic accidents under low-illumination conditions is developed. Accidents are classified based on the presence of obstructions, and corresponding investigation strategies are formulated. For the unobstructed scene, a UAV-mounted LiDAR scans the accident site to generate a comprehensive point cloud model. In the partially obstructed scene, a ground-based mobile laser scanner complements the areas that are obscured or inaccessible to the UAV-mounted LiDAR. Subsequently, the collected point cloud data are downsampled using a multiscale voxel iteration method. Then, the improved normal distributions transform (NDT) and filtering algorithms are applied to register ground and air data, reconstructing a high-precision 3D accident scene model. Finally, two nighttime traffic accident scenarios are conducted. DJI Zenmuse L1 UAV LiDAR system and EinScan Pro 2X mobile scanner are selected for survey reconstruction. The results demonstrate that this method can efficiently and accurately investigate low-illumination traffic accident scenes without being affected by obstructions, providing valuable technical support for refined traffic management and accident analysis. Moreover, the challenges and future research directions are discussed.
