Drones will monitor traffic and road conditions along the Dublin-to-Marysville stretch of Rt. 33 in a research project complementing smart mobility tests of driverless and connected vehicles.

DriveOhio, which is ODOT’s smart mobility coordinating center, and Ohio State University’s College of Engineering are leading the project that starts July 1.
