無人機於交通事件管理之應用：高速公路案例探討

APPLICATION OF UAV IN TRAFFIC INCIDENT MANAGEMENT：A FREEWAY CASE STUDY

無人機（UAV）的科技發展日新月異，有很多的潛在應用尚在發展中。無人空拍機具有機動性高、拍攝範圍廣之優勢，可以克服地理限制，迅速抵達事故現場並監控交通事故的發展及了解車流狀況，協助交通事件管理的處理。因此，本研究將探討無人機在交通事件管理的實務應用上所能扮演的角色，並以高速公路為例，提出無人機運用在交通事件觀測與監控的作業流程，並進行現場實測調查，以案例方式探討無人機的拍攝效果以及交通事故之應變管理措施對事故地點對主線車流之影響，此資訊可用作高速公路的交通事故管理作業方式之參考。

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology is advancing at a remarkable pace, with many potential applications still being explored. UAVs offer the advantages of high mobility and a broad range of view capture, enabling them to overcome geographical barriers, swiftly reach accident scenes, and monitor the development of traffic incidents as well as the current traffic flow. This research aims to examine the role that UAVs can play in the practical application of Traffic Incident Management (TIM), specifically focusing on freeways. We propose a workflow for using UAVs in the observation and surveillance of traffic incidents and conduct field surveys to explore the effectiveness of UAV videos and the impact of emergency management actions on the traffic flow at accident sites. This information can serve as a reference for the methodology of freeway traffic accident management operations.
