Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) are widely used in numerous field and the technology keeps growing.Generally, conventional method used in data collection for engineering work is tedious and requires a lot of manpower.This research focuses on the investigation of the suitability of UAV for route survey.Three stages involved: data collection, data processing and data analysis.By using Kama Beta, the data was collected.For data processing, Pix4D Mapper is used for point cloud and AutoCAD 2014 for the analysis stage.The result is mainly focused on extracting the road profile and test the point cloud data using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE).The result from both methods, conventional and UAV from the point cloud data using RMSE show only the small difference, with only 6.67% from total 60 points out of tolerance.
