Flying a Drone to an Accident
Nowadays, you can buy a drone in any supermarket. For some it’s just another gadget, for others – a tool for work and a platform for obtaining interesting and important data. Specialists from the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography of the Warsaw University of Technology know how to use drones to document traffic accidents.
When a traffic accident or collision takes place, the Police have to, among other things, secure the site and prepare appropriate technical documentation. In such situations, accuracy and specificity of measurements are not the only important elements. Time is also crucial. Everyone is interested in restoring traffic, removing danger and reducing traffic jams as quickly as possible. Our specialists help with that. They use drones and photogrammetry to help the Police in their surveys.
WUT'S researchers work on a range of scientific topics which are explored in different areas and on a different scale. Often the outcome of these helps with the development of new technologies or everyday products to come into being.
