摘要： A system is described that is configured to receive surveillance data from a vehicle, determine a location of the vehicle based at least in part on the received surveillance data, and determine a course of the vehicle based at least in part on the received surveillance data. The system is further configured to predict a future vehicle maneuver for the vehicle based at least in part on the location and the course of the vehicle, and based at least in part on a set of protocol data indicating one or more standard procedures for one or more vehicle maneuvers. The system is further configured to determine, based at least in part on the predicted future vehicle maneuver, a modified protection volume for the vehicle that is modified relative to a baseline protection volume for the vehicle. The system is further configured to generate an output based on the modified protection volume.

摘要： Embodiments are provided for providing location positioning service for locating a transportation apparatus through a UAV network. A location center may be employed to receive a location service request for locating a specific transportation apparatus. After receiving such a request, the location center may inquire a location database for last known location of the requested transportation apparatus. Based on the last known location of the requested transportation apparatus, the location center may predict one or more areas in which the requested transportation apparatus may be currently in. Based on the prediction, the location center may be configured to generate one or more control instructions to one or more UAVs in the UAV network to locate the requested transportation apparatus in those areas.

摘要： Airport runway optimization may be achieved by tracking aircraft related data such as statistics and status, generating an ideal spacing information between aircraft or flight instructions utilizing tracked aircraft data, communicating the ideal spacing information or flight instructions between area control and tower control, and directing the aircraft in its descent or to take-off. In one embodiment, feedback data is tracked related to an actual spacing of various aircraft and compared to the generated ideal spacing information or flight instructions to identify potential areas for improved optimization.

摘要： A flight hindrance display apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry is configured to acquire surrounding information of an aircraft. The surrounding information is related to a hindrance factor which is a possible flight hindrance to the aircraft. The circuitry is configured to determine a spatial range of the flight hindrance factor on a basis of the acquired surrounding information. The circuitry is configured to determine a flight hindrance cross-section that intersects a plane including a vector of a flight direction of the aircraft and is included in the determined spatial range of the flight hindrance factor. The circuitry is configured to cause a display unit to stereoscopically display an own position of the aircraft, the spatial range of the flight hindrance factor, and the flight hindrance cross-section.

摘要： An automatic system to detect and avoid collisions between piloted aircraft operating at low altitudes and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). UAV's are typically remote controlled helicopters, quad-copters, airplanes and other airborne vehicles (e.g., Drones). Aircraft operating at low altitudes are subject to interference (accidental or purposefully) by those on the ground operating said UAV's, which is likely to cause great injury or death to the aircraft and its occupants.

摘要： An anti-collision system for an UAV and a method thereof are provided. The anti-collision system for an UAV includes: a first aerial vehicle. The first aerial vehicle includes: a wireless transmission module and a processor. The wireless transmission module is used for transmitting a first signal of the first aerial vehicle and for receiving a second signal from a second aerial vehicle; the processor is used for calculating a signal strength of the second signal, for obtaining a spacing distance between the second aerial vehicle and the first aerial vehicle, to determine if the spacing distance is less than a distance threshold value; wherein when the spacing distance is less than the distance threshold value, the processor adjusts a flight status of the first aerial vehicle. Thus the present invention can avoid the collisions between the first aerial vehicle and the second aerial vehicle.
