AT Great Britainresearchers from Cranfield University create a project drone traffic management. This will be another step towardsroads to sky“. Thus, the study aims to develop alternatives so that the practical implementation is safe and correctly structured, taking into account the features of the possible paths.

An approach that is being considered by many companies (and others operating in a controlled environment, like an amazon) is to use unmanned aerial vehicle for online shopping delivery or even as transport in adapted municipalities. Research follows the vision UAFM (Urban Air Mobility/Urban Air Mobility), meaning the future is not as far away as it might seem.

European project known as AMU-LED, in which the goal is to demonstrate the proper integration of various types of drone operations in the skies of major cities around the world, tests the necessary measures to ensure the efficiency of air traffic. U-space will be the name given to a governance structure designed to be secure and efficient for a large number of devices.

Questions about what everyday life will be like with multiple drones in cities still raise uncertainty. Since this is a new scenario, practical barriers can make it difficult to apply the ideas. One way to facilitate airway analysis is to suggest flight demonstrations which anticipate different conditions, with situations that may occur during city trips.

The project will use well-known eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) for the transport of goods and passengers, with appropriate vertical takeoff and landing platforms, together with BASS (Unmanned aerial systems), send products, medicinesor carry out requirements observation as well as Support to rescue services.

Tests are already underway in Netherlands, Great Britain as well as Spain, and are necessary in order to be able to understand several variables such as meteorological data, real-time tracking and location between pilots, drones and the air traffic control system, among others. In this step, two concepts of unmanned traffic control architectures will be analyzed.
