Abstract:

The goal of this research is to provide a justified recommendation to the Kansas Department of Transportation

(KDOT) on whether or not it is beneficial to implement UAS into routine operations, as well as advice on

specific UAS equipment that best fits the needs of KDOT. This report includes a literature review which

lists the commercial companies currently using UASs after gaining a Certificate of Authorization (COA)

exemption and research done by other DOTs. Potential applications of and concerns about UAS usage are

also included in the literature review. Please note that in the literature review, the term UAS and unmanned

aerial vehicles (UAV) are used interchangeably since the terms vary within each source. A survey was created

and sent to all state Department of Transportation offices. A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities,

and Threats/Challenges) Analysis was carried out looking at different areas of interest for KDOT.
