OKI’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) program maintained its operational excellence throughout 2024, supported by three FAA-certified UAV pilots and two Visual Observers.
The program continues to provide valuable, high-resolution images and video for a variety of applications. They include transportation planning, environmental monitoring, and public communications.
Key collaborations this year included providing aerial footage of a new METRO crosstown bus route to support its launch and documentation.
OKI also continued its multi-year partnership with Bahr Farms and Amberly Village, capturing aerial imagery to monitor environmental changes and greenspace preservation.
Additionally, the UAV team played a crucial role in documenting the I-471 Bridge repair project. The team captured detailed images of the ongoing work and its associated traffic impacts. This data provided valuable insights into the project’s progress and its effects on the surrounding transportation network.
