Abstract
Drone technology can be very beneficial to transportation engineering by increasing the efficiency of the data collection process and limiting the number of personnel needed, allowing resources to be dedicated to multiple projects simultaneously. However, the technology can be costly. This presentation identifies a cost-effective way to employ drone technology for data collection.
