  • Description:
    Safety for the general public and Department workers is a key value within Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). As MnDOT works within its right-of-way (ROW), that safety concern extends to the safety needs of maintenance staff in field work, as well as those of the unsheltered homeless population, who may camp on MnDOT’s ROW. Therefore, MnDOT seeks to evaluate various remote sensing tools in the industry in order to help ensure safety and identify: Objects and artifacts left in encampments that pose a risk to maintenance; People who may be impaired or not awake and therefore, undetected and not visible in tall grasses along the ROW; Number of people within encampments and their locations before MnDOT staff/consultants enter. SRF Consulting Group worked with MnDOT in identifying specific uses for the remote sensing tools, a list of potential tools was generated, MnDOT reviewed and then developed a short list of five tools which SRF then conducted a detailed investigation on a short list of five remote sensing tools identified. This TRS presents the findings including information on tool applications and details for MnDOT’s specific application including pros and cons of each.
