Analysis Of Uas Avoidance Warning Criteria Based On "Τ-Τ", Zhiwei Zhang, Jianwu Tao, Shao Xiao Jan 2019

Analysis Of Uas Avoidance Warning Criteria Based On "Τ-Τ", Zhiwei Zhang, Jianwu Tao, Shao Xiao

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In the process of UAV avoiding obstacles, the tau warning logic based on time is introduced. Based on the tau warning logic, the τ-τ warning logic is proposed, and the equal τ-τ warning curve is constructed. According to the range of maneuver of the own UAV, three warning areas are defined, including high-risk area, low-risk area and non-risk area. Aiming at the two planes in the case of parallel encounter and vertical encounter, in accordance with three different situations of the UAV’s speed greater than, equal to and less than the intruder’s speed, the method simulates the warning …


Urban Flow And Small Unmanned Aerial System Operations In The Built Environment, Kevin A. Adkins Jan 2019

Urban Flow And Small Unmanned Aerial System Operations In The Built Environment, Kevin A. Adkins

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has put forth a set of regulations (Part 107) that govern small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) operations. These regulations restrict unmanned aircraft (UA) from flying over people and their operation to within visual line of sight (VLOS). However, as new applications for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are discovered, their capabilities improve, and regulations evolve, there is an increasing desire to undertake urban operations, such as urban air mobility, package delivery, infrastructure inspection, and surveillance. This built environment poses new weather hazards that include enhanced wind shear and turbulence. The smaller physical dimensions, lower mass and …
