NCSU R&A: ecoPRT at NCSU - Dr. Seth Hollar, Drones for Geoscience - Dr. Justyna Jeziorska
"ecoPRT" was originally conceived in response to a significant need at North Carolina State University. For over a decade, the master architectural plan for the NCSU campus has shown a transportation corridor marked “Future monorail” between the D.H. Hill library on Main campus and the Hunt library on Centennial campus. ecoPRT is an project being designed and prototyped to be the system that fills NCSU corridor. The interesting side effect of EcoPRT’s design at NCSU is that these same features make EcoPRT suitable for thousands of circulator applications around the world. Because of its low cost, small footprint and sensible design, EcoPRT can fit into a wide variety of environments including college campuses, business campuses, airports, shopping centers, urban cores and large suburban developments.
Please refer to following link for more information about ecoPRT project. Highly impressive Dr. Seth Hollar and his team will present about their project information involving ecoPRT.

Dr. Justyna Jeziorska is a Research Associate in the Center for Geospatial Analytics at NC state Univeristy. Dr. Jeziorska is a geographer, cartographer and GIS specialist who has been working with UAS-obtained imagery since 2012, processed countless UAS-obtained datasets, and teaches NC State students how to use drones for their research. In the process, Dr. Jeziorska has published many research papers in the subject matter. Dr. Jeziorska also teaches brief continuous professional development workshop involving UAS Operations & Analytics at NCSU - where students learn to select a drone matching their needs, fly safely and legally at NC, prepare and execute flights to collect data, get the most out of your drone & UAS data, and processing concepts from raw UAS imagery into a final useful analytics.
