This presentation outlines the evolution and operational framework of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Drone Program, established in 2017. The program strategically integrates Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to enhance transportation infrastructure management across multiple domains, including emergency response, aeronautics, highways, and rail and transit systems. Central to this effort is the development of a scalable and secure approach for capturing, processing, managing, and delivering aerial data as actionable intelligence to support decision-making.
The presentation will highlight the end-to-end MassDOT UAS workflow, including mission planning, data acquisition, processing pipelines, quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC), and enterprise data dissemination. A key focus will be the implementation of the Aeronautics Data Hub—an enterprise UAS data management solution.
