The May/June 2024 issue of Innovator, the bimonthly newsletter of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), recognized the efforts of two No Boundaries member states for their work with unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
The Ohio Department of Transportation was recently granted approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to test the feasibility and benefits of incorporating live drone footage into its statewide traffic management program.
After taking part in FHWA’s international study of UAS innovations, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) was inspired by Germany’s “drone-in-a-box” docking system and plans to test the technology in the state. Caltrans is also developing a digital products catalog, modeled after one developed by the United Kingdom National Highways Bureau, to streamline the agency’s project delivery process.
