Singapore develops drone traffic management system
Drones are one of the hottest technologies today. Seeing more and more drones flying in the sky, how to standardize these drones has become a headache. Recently, Nanyang Technological University of Singapore began to study drone management systems to allow drones to go their own ways in the air. ensure safety.
The research project is hosted by the Air Traffic Management Research Institute jointly established by Nanjing University of Civil Aviation and the Singapore Civil Aviation Authority (CAAS). It will use four years to study how to better control drones while making full use of Singapore’s sky.
NTU researchers first consulted the land transport system and considered dividing the sky into a “lane†and developing appropriate traffic rules to ensure that drones had sufficient safety distances from each other.
In addition, it is also necessary to set up a dedicated take-off and landing point for the drone. The “lane†is also best to pass over the top of the building to avoid ground traffic and reduce safety risks.
Considering that most drones are gyroplanes and can be hovered in mid-air, the project's director, Low Kin Huat, a professor at NTU's Department of Aeronautical Engineering, said that virtual traffic lights can also be set up to control various "lanes". The passage. This is also to control drones more safely and effectively.
Signal monitoring equipment can also be installed on the flight path of UAVs to tell users where signals from UAVs are good and can be normally manipulated; where signals are poor, they need to be avoided, or drones can fly autonomously.
For areas that are not allowed by drones, such as Changi Airport, substations, or other facilities, virtual “roadblocks†can also be created for drones, starting with software and making drones inaccessible.
In addition, in order to avoid traffic accidents such as “scratchingâ€, it is also possible to install an anti-collision system similar to the current passenger aircraft for the drone so that the drone can autonomously avoid other nearby drones.
In addition to referring to land transport systems, there is another method of control for drones that refers to the airport's towers. It is possible to establish drone surveillance and control stations throughout Singapore to monitor the number, position, speed, altitude and heading of air drones in real time to prevent them from colliding or flying into “forbidden areasâ€.
I believe that if we have this management system in the future, everyone can enjoy playing drones without any worries.
