• Abstract:
  NJDOT engaged Cambridge Systematics (CS) to review existing unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) practices within NJDOT and State DOTs to identify how UAS programs engage consultants, certify staff and consultants to conduct UAS missions, assess and manage risk associated with UAS missions, and manage and store data to comply with State and Federal regulations. This research effort included: a literature review, focused on Federal and State regulations that address UAS operations and administration, interviews with NJDOT staff and representatives from other State DOT UAS programs, and a review of NJDOT UAS program documentation and peer State DOT UAS program documentation that was either publicly available or provided to the research team during peer interviews. The research team synthesized the findings of this research effort and provided recommendations to NJDOT.
