Abstract
A control method of an air vehicle for urban air mobility (UAM) is provided. The method enable people to more easily control an air vehicle for UAM, and moves in a flight manner familiar to people during flight to allow a driver and passengers comfortably use the air vehicle without discomfort such as motion sickness, dizziness, etc. The control method includes acquiring air vehicle driving information; adjusting an altitude of the air vehicle to a target altitude; adjusting longitudinal acceleration and longitudinal deceleration of the air vehicle; and operating steering during flight of the air vehicle.
Claims10
A control method of an air vehicle for urban air mobility, the air vehicle including a driving input device comprising a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal, a decelerator pedal, and an altitude designating device, the control method comprising:
- acquiring, by a controller, air vehicle driving information including driving input information in response to operation of the driving input device;
- adjusting byte controller, an altitude of the air vehicle to a target altitude on the basis of a target altitude value in response to an operation state of the altitude designating device among the acquired air vehicle driving information;
- adjusting, by the controller, longitudinal acceleration and longitudinal deceleration of the air vehicle in response to operation states of the accelerator pedal and the decelerator pedal among the acquired air vehicle driving information;
- and
- adjusting, by the controller, steering during flight of the air vehicle in response to an operation state of the steering wheel among the acquired air vehicle driving information;
- wherein, in the adjusting of the longitudinal acceleration and the longitudinal deceleration of the air vehicle and the adjusting of the steering during moving of the air vehicle, the controller is configured to perform control for maintaining the altitude of the air vehicle to the target altitude designated by the operation of the altitude designating device;
- wherein the controller is configured to perform control allowing the air vehicle to vertically ascend until reaching the target altitude designated by the operation of the altitude designating device during taking-off of the air vehicle;
- and
- wherein the controlling the longitudinal acceleration of the air vehicle includes:
- determining, by the controller, target acceleration based on an accelerator pedal input value, among the air vehicle driving information, detected by an accelerator pedal sensor;
- determining, by the controller, a control command for feedback-controlling to allow the air vehicle longitudinal acceleration, among the air vehicle driving information, detected by an acceleration sensor to follow the target acceleration, and
- operating, by the controller, the drive device of the air vehicle in response to the determined control command.
