[Objective] Based on the needs of highway inspection, this article aims to develop a fully functional intelligent inspection vehicle, which can improve the ability of highway supervision. [Method] The overall framework of the inspection vehicle was designed, the mechanical design of the inspection vehicle was carried out by three-dimensional software, and the circuit and interactive software were designed by the electrical system design software. [Results] The real vehicle was manufactured by 3D printing and other production methods and the actual vehicle was tested on the road, and the functions of autonomous driving, active obstacle avoidance, illegal photography, and remote communication of the inspection vehicle were realized. [Conclusion] The design of this intelligent inspection vehicle can complete the highway inspection task more efficiently and provide a practical and reliable solution for road safety and security.
