• Description:
  This research documented key challenges and developed and tested procedures for data collection and processing, with a focus on traffic incident management (TIM) activities such as crash reconstructions. The research included a review of historical crash data trends in Texas, simulation of the effect of environmental factors on the quality of photogrammetric data collected with UASs, completion of UAS-based data collection tests, development of recommendations for UAS operations, and development of recommended updates for the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Flight Operations and User’s Manual.
