As unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are becoming more ubiquitous due to rapid advances in technology, their potential for personal and commercial usage is expanding. Conflicts between UAS and existing infrastructure will continue to increase as more UAS enter the airspace. In particular, significant attention has been given to the interaction of UAS operations and airport facilities. Nevertheless, UAS can and do operate in close proximity to roadway infrastructure as well. One manifestation of this conflict is the potential driver distraction from UAS operations near roadways, resulting in safety concerns for road users and UAS operators alike. This research evaluates the potential for this distraction through a driving simulator study.
