A Remotely Piloted Aerial System for a Faster Processing of Traffic Collisions Towards Reducing the Resulting Road Congestion

摘要

This paper presents the motivation, design, implementation, and testing of a remotely piloted aerial system, designed to facilitate police officers processing traffic collisions. A drone remotely controlled by the police officer can reach faster the accident scene and act as the police officer's eye, ear, and voice in the sky. A complete system prototype has been constructed and tested to validate the proposed system. The results show that the system performance is promising in terms of system functionality, safety, and cost.
