Applications of Drone and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Surveying for Planning For Cities

Abstract

Abstract: The field of town planning is one of the many areas in city life where Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and drones could find use. When compared to traditional surveying options, drones may offer planners a more accurate, precise, flexible, and economical means of obtaining information. Unfortunately, current Indian government restrictions around the use of drones, particularly in the town planning sector, are vague and prioritize safety above advancing technology toward a system that is more efficient. To maximize the public benefit from the use of drone technology in town planning, town planners and surveyors require flexible, practical drone regulations that address the numerous concerns surrounding the use of UAVs in urban areas. This research discusses the present applications of UAVs in many areas of urban planning.
