Abstract
A system and method for aerial traffic management of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are provided. The method includes receiving at least a navigation request from a first UAV of a plurality of UAVs, wherein the navigation request specifies at least a waypoint; determining whether the waypoint is clear; sending an instruction the first UAV to hover at a specified position until the waypoint is clear, when the received waypoint is not clear; locking the waypoint, when the received waypoint not clear; and instructing the first UAV to navigate to the received waypoint.
Claims19
A method for aerial traffic management of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comprising:
- receiving at least a navigation request from a UAV of a plurality of UAVs, wherein the navigation request specifies at least a waypoint;
- determining whether the waypoint is clear;
- sending an instruction to the UAV to hover at a specified position until the waypoint is clear, when the received waypoint is not clear;
- locking the waypoint for the UAV, when the received waypoint is clear;
- and
- instructing the UAV to navigate to the received waypoint.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for a process for aerial traffic management of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the process comprising:
- receiving at least a navigation request from a UAV of a plurality of UAVs, wherein the navigation request specifies at least a waypoint;
- determining whether the waypoint is clear;
- sending an instruction to the UAV to hover at a specified position until the waypoint is clear, when the received waypoint is not clear;
- locking the waypoint for the UAV, when the received waypoint clear;
- and
- instructing the UAV to navigate to the received waypoint.
A system for aerial traffic management of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comprising:
- a processing circuitry;
- and
- a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:
- receive at least a navigation request from a UAV of a plurality of UAVs, wherein the navigation request specifies at least a waypoint;
- determine whether the waypoint is clear;
- send an instruction to the UAV to hover at a specified position until the waypoint is clear, when the received waypoint is not clear;
- lock the waypoint for the UAV, when the received waypoint is clear;
- and
- instruct the UAV to navigate to the received waypoint.
