McKenzie County, ND Gravel Road Conditions Drone Pilot

In Progress

County commissioners approved an agreement with ISight RPV Services for road safety evaluations by drone. The project's first stage involves gathering control data on county roads before post-storm evaluations in the second stage. McKenzie County and ISight use weather stations from the Western Dakota Energy Association to target drone use. The pilot helps county officials open or close gravel roads easily damaged by heavy trucks following rainstorms.
