Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been successfully used as an alternative to traditional
\ntraffic monitoring practice given their low cost and improved mobility. A UAV was used to
\ninvestigate how quickly drivers adapted to the introduction of the first two-lane roundabout in
\nNew Brunswick. The footage provided by the UAV was manually analyzed to interpret changes
\nin driving errors as they became more familiar with the new facility. The video also allowed for
\nreal-world estimates of driver gap acceptance for use in capacity analyses. The captured data
\nhas led to recommended design changes that should lead to a safer facility going forward.
\nTransport Canada is the governing body for UAV regulation in Canada and the application
\nprocess undertaken for the research done at the roundabout is discussed. Operational practices
\nfor the best use of UAVs for traffic monitoring are also recommended, which include surveys that
\ntraditionally require significant person-power.<\/p>\n
