FDOT DIVAS UAV Video Integration
Project Description: FDOT is using video images from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs or Drones) to support emergency response and management. UAV video images will connect directly to DIVAS via wireless internet and become available to FDOT emergency managers and others through DIVAS. Electronically tethered UAV are deployed and controlled in the vicinity of the emergency conditions being surveilled.
All other video images that input to DIVAS come from FDOT or local agency traffic management centers. This is the first time video images will come directly (through third–party) from the camera to DIVAS.
