İHA'LAR İLE TRAFİK İZLEME VE AKILLI ULAŞIM: 2020 SONRASI GELİŞMELER VE UYGULAMALAR

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a key technology in traffic monitoring and intelligent transportation systems. Their agility, operational flexibility, and real-time high-resolution data collection capabilities suit them for various transportation applications. This study reviews UAV-based traffic monitoring and intelligent transportation research conducted since 2020, focusing on the integration of image processing, artificial intelligence, and sensor fusion technologies. The increasing demand for contactless and adaptive monitoring solutions in the post-COVID-19 era has further highlighted the advantages of UAVs. Unlike stationary or vehicle-mounted systems, UAVs can efficiently cover large areas, adapt to dynamic conditions, and reduce infrastructure costs. The study also provides policy recommendations and technical guidance for the effective integration of UAVs into national traffic management strategies, with a specific emphasis on the Turkiye context.
