description This study examines the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in transportation, focusing on traffic monitoring and accident prevention. UAVs provide a cost-effective means for traffic surveillance, route planning, and accident analysis, enhancing data accuracy and timeliness. The paper discusses autonomous and human-intervention-supported drone systems for traffic surveillance, addressing technological and operational challenges and the balance needed for practical implementation. It also presents recent advancements, including a forerunner drone model, and references research on UAVs for maritime navigation safety, underscoring the need for their safe and efficient integration into transportation systems.
