Towards the Development of a Smart Drone Police: Illustration in Traffic Speed Monitoring

Abstract

Applications, such as, mapping, highway traffic monitoring and punishment (drone police), surveillance, rescues, precision agriculture, medical resupply missions, require a stable mobile platform for remote sensing. Sensing is an important component to prevent traffic congestion and traffic monitor to make decision. This paper studies a smart drone police based on a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV): Illustration in traffic speed monitoring. The using of a UAV instead of static cameras/sensors provide some advantages, such as, its super flexibility, real-time operations, rich information and low cost. The experiment is performed on a lab-scale system to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
