Abstract
This study focuses on utilizing drones for performance evaluation of ITS detectors and analyzing economic feasibility when performance evaluation is conducted by the traffic management center's own personnel using drones. The study sites were selected from DSRC, video detector, and radar detector locations and drone filming was conducted to obtain travel speed, queue length, and delay time and compare with the detector data. It was shown that drones can be very effectively used to evaluate performance of major ITS detectors such as DSRC and video detectors. In addition, it was analyzed that a drone operated by the traffic management center's own personnel provides very economic solution for ITS detector performance evaluation when compared to consignment by external agencies.
