Utilization of Unmanned System Technology in Transportation Engineering: A Case Study

Publication: International Conference on Transportation and Development 2019: Innovation and Sustainability in Smart Mobility and Smart Cities

ABSTRACT

Unmanned system technology is an emerging field in the world of civil engineering. While there are many possible applications for using unmanned systems for data collection there are currently many restrictions. This paper provides insight to a cost effective utilization of unmanned systems to complete data collection for transportation projects and discusses in detail the laws currently limiting unmanned system use in the United States.
