Demonstration of Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Traffic Incident Management

Previous investigations into technologies that can improve incident response, monitoring, and clearance resulted in the potential application of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for use in Traffic Incident Management (TIM). An initial investigation of UAS-TIM, summarized in the March 2017 report titled “Concept of Operations for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Use for Traffic Incident Management (UAS-TIM),” determined the need to observe and understand the real-time capabilities and functions of UAS-TIM, and suggested that researchers observe UAS-TIM capabilities and functions by executing a live demonstration. This document reports on the observed capabilities and functions of a UAS-TIM demonstration in Houston, Texas and provides conclusions and recommendations regarding the potential of UAS-TIM to be a successful tool.
