An increasing number of city residences leads not only to the expansion of territory, but also to the increasing of the road transportation network. Consequently, there are appeared some problems, such as a decreasing the road safety and an increasing of the road accidents. At the beginning of the XXI century within the framework of the concept of the Internet of Things appears a new direction of development. Its purpose was to create an information and communication structure that would give all information to road users for their safeness and additional types of information services. This area is called Intelligent Transportation System. One of the most important components of ITS is an automotive self-organizing VANET. VANET is responsible for the formation of the network structure in ITS. The specifics of this class of networks, due to the high dynamics of changes in their composition and structure, has led to the formation of a wide range of research problems. This article proposes using of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the infocommunication network of the Smart City. There are presented an analysis of the main parameters of UAV as an element of the telecommunications network and its monitoring systems. This paper shows that using of UAV allows to expand the capabilities of communication network in various extraordinary conditions, such as traffic congestion, monitoring network organization, networks with acceptable delays.
