Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become a reliable and efficient tool for road traffic monitoring. Compared to loop detectors and bluetooth receivers (with high capital and operational expenditure), drones are a low-cost alternative that offers great flexibility and high quality data.In this work, we derive optimized tour plans that a fleet of drones can follow for rapid traffic monitoring across particular regions of the transportation network. To derive these tours, we first identify monitoring locations over which drones should fly through and then compute minimum travel-time tours based on realistic resource constrains. Evaluation results are presented over a real road network topology to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.
