Títol: Design and implementation of a U-Space drone geofencing system

Data inici oferta: 17-02-2021     Data finalització oferta: 17-10-2021


Estudis d'assignació del projecte:
    MU DRONS
Tipus: Individual
 
Lloc de realització: EETAC
 
Paraules clau:
Arduino, UAV, geofencing
 
Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
In recent years there has been an exponential growth in the
demand for drone operations favored by new drone applications.
Due to this, there is a need for a set of services, highly
specific and digitized, that allow to integrate, in a safe and
efficient way, an automated management of a large number of
simultaneous drone operations in the same portion of airspace.
The European Commission took the political initiative at the end
of 2016 for the establishment and deployment of the concept of
automated management of drone operations in the European Union,
called U-space. U-space will facilitate drone operations, from
the simplest (taking pictures of a walk in the countryside) to
the most complex (operations in high-density urban environments)
and their safe integration into the airspace with current
conventional operations managed by air navigation services. For a
seamless transition to the ideal scenario envisioned by the U-
Space project, four progressive phases are planned for
implementing process automation over the next 10 years. The first
phase of implementation, Phase U1: Basic level of services, in
which we are currently immersed, will provide services such as
electronic identification and registration, or geofencing
(geospatial perimeter around a zone or area that delimits
unauthorized access to it). The goal of this project is to design
and implement a geofencing system together with the onboard
detect-and-avoid system required to provide last line of defense
against in-air collision. The geofencing hardware and software
system will be implemented on a fully configurable drone so that
it will have the necessary flexibility to allow future extensions
according to U-Space's requirements.
