The proper management of drainage systems in roadways is essential to ensure road safety, prolong the lifespan of infrastructure, and minimize environmental impact. Water accumulation on roads can lead to landslides, erosion, and structural damage, highlighting the need for effective and continuous monitoring. In this context, remote sensing techniques emerge as innovative and efficient tools for assessing the condition of drainage systems. This article explores how the integration of technologies such as remote sensing, satellite imagery, and drones can facilitate the identification of issues in drainage systems, allowing for more accurate and rapid assessments compared to traditional methods. Through case studies and data analysis, it will be demonstrated how these techniques not only improve fault detection but also optimize maintenance planning and execution, thereby contributing to a more resilient and sustainable roadway infrastructure.
