A Survey of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for Traffic Surveillance
نویسنده
چکیده
The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has been interested for the past several years in obtaining data on traffic trends and to monitor and control traffic in realtime. Currently, there are several methods by which the DOT regulates and monitors road transport. Cameras mounted on towers, detectors embedded in pavements or pneumatic tubes, and unmanned aircraft have been proven to be expensive and time-consuming solution candidates. However, aerial monitoring has the potential to yield detailed information to help traffic planners, as well as commuters. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) may provide a “bird’s eye view” for traffic surveillance, road conditions and emergency response. The purpose of this technical report is to provide a survey of research related to the application of UAVs for traffic management.

Nowadays, ground vehicle monitoring (GVM) is one of the areas of application in the intelligent traffic control system using image processing methods. In this context, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles based on thermal infrared (UAV-TIR) images is one of the optimal options for GVM due to the suitable spatial resolution, cost-effective and low volume of images. The methods that have been prop...

Antenna 3D pattern measurement can be a tedious and time consuming task even for antennas with manageable sizes inside anechoic chambers. Performing onsite measurements by scanning the whole 4π [sr] solid angle around the antenna under test (AUT) is more complicated. In this paper, with the aim of minimum duration of flight, a test scenario using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. A pr...
