Remote Sensing in Unsheltered Encampments

A previous Transportation Research Synthesis (https://trid.trb.org/View/1768600) selected a thermal camera to use in unsheltered encampments during maintenance activities, such as identifying objects left in an existing or abandoned encampment and ensuring the camps were vacated. This project will test the technology and develop processes and procedures to optimize the effectiveness.
