Safety assessment of unmanned aerial vehicle operations in an integrated airspace

Three-dimensional velocity obstacle method for UAV uncoordinated avoidance maneuver

Three-dimensional velocity obstacle method for UAV deconflicting maneuvers

Autonomous systems are required in order to enable UAVs to conduct self-separation and collision avoidance, especially for flights within the civil airspace system. A method called the Velocity Obstacle Method can provide the necessary situational awareness for UAVs in a dynamic environment, and can help to generate a deconflicting maneuver.This...

Conflict detection and resolution system architecture for unmanned aerial vehicles in civil airspace

A novel architecture for a general Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Conflict Detection and Resolution (CD&R) system, in the context of their integration into the civilian airspace, is proposed in this paper. The architecture consists of layers of safety approaches ,each representing a combination of different methods for surveillance, coordination,...
