U-space Design, Air Traffic Service and Urban Aircraft System Traffic Management

课程简介

/ Indicative Syllabus Introduction: Overview and basic concepts in U-space, including components in U-space, U-space infrastructure, factors influence the capacity or demand of the U-space, prospects and drawbacks for introducing emerging UAM, and potential solutions. Low-altitude airspace structure and design: The definition, design, and categorization of low-altitude airspace for UAM. Different types of proposed low-altitude airspace structure (e.g. layered, corridor, freemix). The operating environments include airspaces, types of operations, regulations, and procedures necessary to support an operation. -- 1 of 3 -- 2 Low-altitude airspace capacity analysis based on different airspace design: The definition of UAV traffic demand and capacity in low- altitude airspace. Introduce the models used to estimate airspace capacity. Airspace capacity analysis of different airspace structure type. Introduce demand-capacity balancing technique when the requested resources cannot support the collective UAM Operational Intent demand. UAS traffic management: Air traffic management, air traffic control strategies for UAM. Introduce new ATC tactical deconfliction techniques, including the formulation of new separation standards that would rely on enhanced aircraft performance and air traffic management system fidelity may be utilized. U-Space Utilisation: U-space ecosystems, services, frameworks; e- VTOL flight and automation technologies; overall U-space system safety, route duration, and route distance decisions; key areas to be addressed by the U-space program (CONOPs, datalinks, UAV information management, ground technology). Congestion management and resource allocation: Introduce air traffic service in the low-altitude airspace. The design and component of the service network. Based on air traffic management strategies, introduce resource allocation models for efficient use of airspace. Existing challenges and opportunities: Terrain concerns, weather hazard concerns, airspace design in urban complex structures, wind field constraints, and noise control. Characterize different problems such as air corridor constraints and natural environment to address the complex and variable airspace, complicated obstacles, low altitude flights, noise and meteorology faced by their path planning to make finer planning and management.
