Rail transit has emerged as the most popular mode of transportation in the world, with the public favoring it due to its high transportation volume, quick speed, and reduced intake. The global passenger rail transport market is expected to increase from $250.93 billion in 2022 to $357.84 billion in 2026 at an annual compounded growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%.

The rail industry is undergoing a renaissance, with unprecedented demand rise in recent years. There has also been a significant increase in the scale and commitment of various organizations, be it planning or delivering transformational rail projects.

Railway Infrastructure Managers and Operators are also creating a cutting-edge digital railway that uses precise and interactive visualization to show existing and future infrastructure deterioration.

The collection of data is essential for defending decisions taken while railroad planning, upkeep, and repairs. Due to their ability to check substantial areas of railway lines in real time, UAVs have become an effective instrument for the real-time monitoring of railway lines. Their use encourages the detection of deterioration and accident prevention. The purpose of this Whitepaper is to analyze the potential, technology, and challenges of equipping UAVs for railway maintenance operations in a time-saving and cost-efficient manner.
