Regular inspection of pipeline routes to monitor their technical condition improves the reliability of the unified gas supply system as a whole and has a positive impact on its energy efficiency. During the monitoring process, the conformity of the pipeline position to its design parameters is determined, and technical damages such as unauthorized crossings over the pipeline or illegal tapping into it are detected. Special attention is given to identifying leaks of the transported product. Currently, regular helicopter overflights of the pipeline routes are still the most common method of monitoring. However, as global experience shows, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) allows for an increase in the number of flights while significantly improving the quality of surveillance. This article addresses the issue of automating the organization of aerial patrolling of pipeline sections, route planning, and monitoring their execution within the corporate information system, thereby enhancing the energy efficiency of the gas transportation system.
