I just had an idea that drone based traffic control would be really cool and much cheaper. I don't mean traffic, though maybe, I mean parking control where a drone goes around photographing license plates, parking tickets and improperly parked vehicles and sends back details to a central enforcement system. Perhaps it could place tickets too. I think this would be cheap and easy.
Looks like a few academic papers on it and they are implementing something in Namibia (?!)
@plesuvius that does sound very promising...
@nev I am unsure what the flight time of a drone would be for this but surely having a bunch and charging them automatically would be cheaper than parking enforcement officers?
