AHMCT, alongside Caltrans, are developing a teleoperated Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) with advanced mapping capabilities.  This new surveying technology improves data reliability for hydrographic operations. Traditional methods are risky in challenging conditions, necessitating this unmanned system. The goal is safer and more efficient hydrographic surveys, with benefits like early detection of bridge issues and improved safety. This technology promises a more secure future for transportation infrastructure. 

This research was recognized this month as Caltrans' Innovation of the Month.
