“…Manned and unmanned drones will have to operate together, and both modes will involve new levels of complexity, particularly as drone numbers increase. Questions will arise about how to manage drones across the industry, where individual adoption by firms will more than likely require harmonised regulation to support supply chain efficiency ( Druehl et al, 2018 ; Foina et al, 2015 ). And different operators will run subnetworks with different path optimisation plans ( Liu et al, 2019 ; Jeong et al, 2019 ).…”

Commercial and private deployment of airborne drones is revolutionising many ecosystems. To identify critical issues and research gaps, our systematic literature review findings suggest that historic issues such as privacy, acceptance and security are increasingly replaced by operational considerations including interaction with and impacts on other airspace users. Recent incidents show that unrestricted drone use can inflict problems on other airspace users like airports and emergency services. Our review of current regulatory approaches shows a need for further policy and management response to both manage rapid and efficient drone usage growth, and facilitate innovation (e.g. intraurban package delivery), with one promising strategic response being low altitude airspace management (LAAM) systems for all drone use cases.

“…Following NASA's initiative [4], there currently exist several studies and works on the conception of a UTM system to enable the safe integration of UAVs in low-altitude shared airspace. Most of these works address the integration of In-Flight CDR methods [7], [11] or Sense and Avoid methods [6], [13], [14].…”

“…First concepts of operations have been released by NASA [1], yet the design and the integration of CDR methods into the UTM system needs more investigation. While many Sense and Avoid and In-Flight CDR methods have been recently proposed and studied [6]- [11], Pre-Flight CDR methods remain mostly unexplored. Therefore, this paper will focus on Pre-Flight CDR methods and their evaluation.…”

The increasing demand for services performed by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) requires the simulation of Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) systems. In particular, Pre-Flight Conflict Detection and Resolution (CDR) methods need to scale to future demand levels and generate conflict-free paths for a potentially large number of UAVs before actual takeoff. However, few studies have examined realistic scenarios and the requirements for the UTM system. In this paper, we focus on the Sendai 2030 model case, a realistic projection of UAV usage for deliveries in one area in Japan. This model case considers up to 21,000 requests for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations over a 13 hour service time, and thus poses a challenge for the Pre-Flight CDR methods. Therefore, we propose an airspace reservation method based on 4DT (3D plus time Trajectories) and map the Pre-Flight CDR problem to a Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) problem. We study first-come first-served (FCFS) and ''batch'' processing of UAS operation requests, and compare the throughput of those methods. We analyze the air traffic topology of deliveries by UAVs, and discuss several metrics to better understand the complexity of air traffic in the Sendai model case. INDEX TERMS Unmanned aircraft system traffic management (UTM), pre-flight conflict detection and resolution (CDR), multi-agent path finding (MAPF), air traffic complexity metrics.

Air Traffic Management (ATM) is designed based on the notion of a pilot navigating an aircraft from within the aircraft. Increasing demand for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) usage and its safe integration into segregated/non-segregated airspace, on the other hand, have raised a question on the adoption of the current ATM for the UAS Traffic Management (UTM). The Procedures for Air Navigation Services-Air Traffic Management (PAN-ATM) and Procedures for Air Navigation Services -aircraft operations (PAN-OPS) rules are both developed for manned flight operations. Therefore, this work (i) defines the UTM system and describes its envisioned functionalities; (ii) performs an exploratory research to identify the distinctions between a manned and an unmanned flight operations and consequently the possible challenges to implement UTM with regard to the ATM; (iii) determines potential Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) technologies to support the UTM system; and proposes an architectural framework for UTM based on the findings. It is important to highlight that this work is developed based on the assumption that the UAS is remotely -piloted and operates in the class G airspace (500 feet and below) in urban areas where the UAS are exposed to various obstacles such as static objects: high-rise buildings, trees, lamp posts, over-ground rail tracks and dynamic objects: cranes.
