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 […]

New Report: Operations and Policy Implications for Unmanned Aircraft Systems for Traffic Incident Management
Transportation agencies and emergency responders are continually seeking new technologies and systems (especially for major incidents) that can improve incident response, monitoring, and clearance. This research explores the potential application of one such system/technology under consideration for that use – unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Commonly referred to as drones in military applications, public and civil […]
