Abstract:

The application of commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) technology to transit operations can offer benefits in safety and efficiency. UAS (commonly referred to as drones), best-suited for difficult or time-consuming tasks, have been applied to numerous federal agencies and state department of transportation operations. This report seeks to extend the application of UAS technology to transportation systems, focusing on two use cases: infrastructure inspection and disaster response & recovery. This report aims to assist transit agencies in determining whether to apply UAS technology to their operations and provides high-level guidance for the development of UAS programs. Each use case is examined from three perspectives: Air Traffic Management (ATM) for implementing UAS operations, human factors considerations, and cost effectiveness analysis. The focus on these areas may provide public transportation systems with a well-rounded understanding of UAS technology from regulatory, operational, and business case perspectives. Considerations for an evaluation of UAS technology for transit agencies are also provided, including guidelines for the development of operations and metrics for data collection and analysis. Future work may include guidance or assistance to existing UAS applications at transit agencies.
