Data for "Responses of turkey vultures to unmanned aircraft systems vary by platform"

This data publication includes raw data from 100 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) field trials at the Erie County Landfill, 10102 Hoover Road, Milan, OH, USA 44846-9711. Data were collected 08 July 2019 – 03 September 2019 and include UAS trial characteristics, bird counts from before and after the trial, focal vulture data, environmental characteristics, time stamps for post processing of flight-initiation distance and UAS speed.To understand turkey vulture response to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) approach. Turkey vultures are considered a risk to aviation safety and dispersing them in a nonlethal way is of interest for human health and safety.For more information about this study and these data, see Pfeiffer et al. (2021).

These data were published on 11/02/2021. On 11/5/2021 metadata was updated to include reference to newly published article (Pfeiffer et al. 2021). Ninety-four videos recorded by the “eye-in-the-sky” UAS of the treatment UAS approaching turkey vultures were added to this package on 01/27/2022. In 6 trials, the “eye-in-the-sky” UAS failed to record the interaction (RunNo 3, 17, 32, 91, 92, and 94).

本数据发布包含来自美国俄亥俄州米兰市伊利县垃圾填埋场（地址：10102 Hoover Road, Milan, OH, USA 44846-9711）的100个无人航空系统（UAS）现场试验的原始数据。数据收集时间范围为2019年7月8日至2019年9月3日，内容涵盖UAS试验特性、试验前后鸟类计数、焦点秃鹫数据、环境特征、飞行起始距离和UAS速度的后处理时间戳，旨在理解秃鹫对无人航空系统（UAS）接近的响应。秃鹫被视为航空安全的潜在威胁，以非致命方式驱散它们对人类健康与安全具有重要意义。关于本研究及数据的详细信息，请参阅Pfeiffer等（2021）的研究。这些数据于2021年11月2日发布。2021年11月5日，元数据更新，包括对最新发表文章（Pfeiffer等，2021）的引用。2022年1月27日，新增了94个由“空中之眼”UAS录制的视频，记录了治疗UAS接近秃鹫的过程。在6次试验中，“空中之眼”UAS未能记录交互行为（运行编号为3、17、32、91、92和94）。
