Abstract
A traffic control system is described that comprises a transceiver configured to receive a first signal comprising location data indicating a location of an unmanned vehicle (UV). The traffic control system further comprises a processor configured to determine a location of a second vehicle and determine a course of the second vehicle. The processor is further configured to cause, based on determining the location of the second vehicle and the course of the second vehicle, the transceiver to transmit a second signal to the UV directing the UV to avoid the course of the second vehicle.
Claims20
A system on an unmanned vehicle (UV) comprising:
- a transceiver configured to:
- receive location data indicating a location of the UV and a course of the UV;
- transmit a first signal indicating the location data to a second vehicle;
- and
- receive a second signal directing the UV to avoid a course of the second vehicle;
- and
- a processing circuitry configured to cause the UV to avoid the course of the second vehicle based on receiving the second signal from the second vehicle.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processing circuitry from a transceiver onboard a U V, location data indicating a location of the UV and a course of the UV;
- causing, by the processing circuitry, the transceiver to transmit a first signal indicating the location data to a second vehicle;
- and
- receiving, by the transceiver, a second signal directing the UV to avoid a course of the second vehicle;
- and
- causing, by the processing circuitry, the UV to avoid the course of the second vehicle based on receiving the second signal from the second vehicle.
A device comprising a computer-readable medium having executable instructions stored thereon, configured to be executable by processing circuitry for causing the processing circuitry to:
- receive, from a transceiver onboard a UV, location data indicating a location of the UV and a course of the UV;
- cause the transceiver to transmit a first signal indicating the location data to a second vehicle;
- and
- receive, from the transceiver, a second signal directing the UV to avoid a course of the second vehicle;
- and
- cause the UV to avoid the course of the second vehicle based on receiving the second signal from the second vehicle.
