Civil unmanned aircraft system operation in national airspace: A survey from Air Navigation Service Provider perspective

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) have advanced technologically and surged exponentially over recent years. Currently, due to safety concerns, most civil operations of UAS are conducted in low-level uncontrolled area or in segregated controlled airspace. As the industry progresses, both operational and technological capabilities have matured to the point where UASs are expected to gain greater freedom of access to both controlled and uncontrolled airspace. Extensive technical and regulatory surveys have been conducted to enable the expanded operations. However, most surveys are derived from the perspective of UAS own operating mechanism and barely consider interactions of their non-segregated activities with the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system. Hence, to fill the gap, this paper presents a survey conducted from the perspective of Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP), which serves to accommodate these new entrants to the overall national airspace while continuing flight safety and efficiency. The primary objectives of this paper are to: (A) describe what typical ANSP-supplied UAS Traffic Management (UTM) architecture is required to facilitate all types of civil UAS operations; (B) identify three major ANSP considerations on how UAS can be accommodated safely in civil airspace; (C) outline future directions and challenges related with UAS operations for the ANSP.

Space debris and the need for space traffic control

This report summarises the presentations which took place at the ‘Space Traffic Control – Is the Space Debris Problem Solvable?’ conference hosted by the Royal Aeronautical Society on the 2nd July 2013. The conference sought to promote discussion over methods to deal with the issue of space debris in particular and speakers included representatives from the European Space Agency, the United Kingdom Space Agency, practitioners and academia. Themes which emerged during the conference included the urgency of the problem of space debris, the need for short-term and long-term solutions, the necessity for the development and implementation of space debris remediation technologies to complement existing mitigation efforts and, last but not least, the wider applications of space traffic control. Regarding the sub-title of the conference, ‘is the space debris problem solvable?’, it would appear from the presentations that while there is the potential for future management of the issue through debris remediation and harmonised mitigation efforts, no comprehensive solutions exist at the time of writing.     

Analysis on Potential Conflict Frequency of Intersected Air Routes in Terminal Airspace Design

In order to obtain accurate conflict risks in terminal airspace design, the concept and calculation model of potential conflict frequency for intersected routes are proposed. Conflict frequency is represented by the product of horizontal conflict frequency and vertical conflict probability. The horizontal conflict frequency is derived from the probability density distribution of conflicts in a period of time. Based on the recorded radar trajectory data, the concept and model of ROUTE distance are proposed, and the probability density function of aircraft height at a specified ROUTE distance is deduced by kernel density estimation. Furthermore, vertical conflict probability and its horizontal distribution are achieved. Examples of three intersected arrival and departure route design schemes are studied. Compared with scheme 1, the conflict frequency values of the other two improved schemes decrease to 53 % and 24%, respectively. The results show that the model can quantify potential conflict frequency of intersec ted routes.     

一种新型的基于预测的卫星资源分配方法

针对传统的按需分配方式所造成的长时延问题,提出了一种新型的基于业务预测的按需分配方法。该方法通过预测业务在等待队列中的长度,将预测信息发送给网络资源控制中心,再由控制中心动态地分配带宽资源,达到服务质量的要求。在阐述了按需分配和业务预测的基本算法后,通过仿真分析了不同的业务类型采用不同的预测信息发送间隔时间的时延性能,分析中考虑了实时业务比非实时业务享有更高的优先权,并且比较了常规按需分配与基于业务预测的按需系统分配方法的时延性能。仿真结果表明利用业务预测,选择合适的预测信息发送间隔时间,能够有效地改善带宽资源分配的时延性能,相比一般的按需分配方式服务质量有了明显的提高。     

城市道路交通流检测数据精度评价

目前各种检测方法采集到的路段速度数据普遍存在一定的误差,其准确性直接影响各种交通分析模型结果的精度.针对浮动车检测器、微波检测器以及线圈检测器的路段速度数据进行研究,利用GPS(Global Positioning System)设备实时记录试验车位置,分别在快速路和主干路进行了12次实验,对不同采集方式获取的速度信息进行了精度验证和评价.实验结果分析表明,浮动车数据获取的城市快速路和主干路的路段行程速度平均误差分别为13.6%和27.8%,且采集值与实际速度具有相同的分布.快速路微波检测器和主干路线圈检测器的速度数据与真实行程速度数据的误差分别为30%和56%.表明了微波检测器的断面速度值,用来表征所处路段的行程速度时虽然具有一定的误差,但是基本能表征路段的行驶状况.该研究结论为不同精度需求的交通模型选择合适的数据源提供支持,并为利用多源数据的冗余信息提高数据精度和完备性提供了理论依据.
