Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic fences, and in particular to an electronic fence monitoring method and system for an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The field of electronic fence technology is mainly used to set virtual boundaries to monitor and control the movement of objects by using GPS or RFID technology. In drone technology, electronic fences are an important safety and management tool used to ensure that drones fly within a preset airspace and prevent them from entering no-fly zones or risk areas. This technology can configure boundaries through software and set specific flight areas in the drone's control system. When the drone attempts to cross the boundary, the system will automatically take measures, such as returning or landing, to avoid potential collisions or illegal flight events.

[0003] Among them, the electronic fence monitoring method for drones involves the technical means of setting and maintaining virtual boundaries in the drone's control system to monitor and control the drone's activities in a designated airspace. The main purpose of this method is to enhance air traffic safety and prevent drones from entering sensitive or no-fly zones. It is also used for drone route management to ensure that it flies along the intended route. The electronic fence not only limits the drone's flight area, but also provides immediate feedback when the drone attempts to cross the boundary to ensure compliance with relevant airspace management regulations.

[0004] Traditional monitoring methods rely on preset flight areas and static fence configurations, lack the ability to analyze real-time dynamic data, and limit their application effectiveness under rapidly changing flight conditions. For example, when a drone deviates from the scheduled route due to environmental factors or operational errors, the traditional electronic fence system cannot adjust the warning threshold and response strategy in real time, resulting in an inability to effectively prevent the occurrence of cross-border incidents. Traditional methods only rely on the distance between the drone and the fence boundary, and fail to accurately analyze the cross-border point and time. This technical limitation will cause safety hazards and is prone to false alarms and missed alarms, making it difficult to achieve the expected monitoring and management effects.

[0095] Environmental factor correction factor ∈ v : The coefficient is used to adjust the speed calculation to adapt to environmental factors at a specific flight altitude. In practical applications, the coefficient can be obtained through empirical data, such as experimentally measuring the performance changes of the drone at different flight altitudes.

[0122] Δv1=v2-v1=15-10=5 m / s

[0123] Δv2=v3-v2=20-15=5 m / s

[0124] Calculate the time interval:

[0125] Δt1=t2-t1=5-0=5 seconds

[0126] Δt2=t3-t2=10-5=5 seconds

[0128]

[0129] Calculate the average rate of change of velocity:

[0130]

[0131] The calculated result r = 1 m / s2, which means that the speed of the drone increased by an average of 1 m / s per second during the observation period. The results show a consistent trend of the increase in the speed of the drone, providing key information for flight control and performance analysis.

[0189] v = 10 m / s (current drone flight speed), r = 0.2 m / s2 (speed change rate), d = 500 m (distance from the drone to the crossing point), ∈ T =0.05 (environmental impact coefficient), δ T =0.03 (UAV instability coefficient).

[0194]

[0195] Cross-border time calculation:

[0196]

[0197] The calculation shows that it takes about 36.0 seconds for the drone to cross the boundary. The calculation results take into account the impact of the drone's acceleration behavior and environmental and mechanical stability factors, providing important information for the flight control system to adjust the flight plan in time or take appropriate preventive measures.

[0198] See also Figure 6 , the method to adjust the warning threshold is:

[0199] S411: extracting the operator's reaction time data when receiving a warning reminder according to the operator's UAV operation record, and performing average calculation to obtain the average reaction time of the operator;

[0200] S412: Based on the average reaction time of the operator, by the formula:

[0201]

[0202] Calculate the adjusted warning threshold Y adjusted , get the warning threshold adjustment result, where Y adjusted is the adjusted warning threshold, Y base is the baseline warning threshold, R base is the base reaction rate, R avg is the average reaction time of the operator, k Y is the adjustment factor.

[0203] formula:

[0204]

[0205] Parameter details and how to obtain them:

[0206] Y base : Baseline warning threshold, an initial warning time set based on industry safety standards and past experience data to provide operators with adequate response time in the absence of a specific risk assessment.

[0207] R base : The benchmark reaction speed is the average reaction time based on past drone operation data statistics, which represents the average time it takes for an operator to receive a warning and start responding under normal circumstances.

[0208] R avg : The average reaction time of the operator is obtained by analyzing the actual reaction time records of the operator in multiple warning events and calculating the average value.

[0209] k Y : Adjustment coefficient, a coefficient that is flexibly set according to the operating conditions, used to adjust the sensitivity of the warning threshold. The size of the coefficient reflects the adjustment range for the reaction time difference.

[0210] Calculation example:

[0211] Set the following parameters: base = 30 seconds (base warning threshold), R base = 10 seconds (baseline reaction speed), R avg = 12 seconds (average operator reaction time), k Y =0.1 (adjustment coefficient).

[0212] Calculation process:

[0213] Calculate the relative difference between the operator's reaction time and the baseline reaction speed:

[0214]

[0215] Calculate the adjusted warning threshold:

[0216] Y adjusted =Y base ×(1+k Y × Deviation)

[0217] =30×(1+0.1×0.2)

[0218] =30×1.02

[0219] =30.6s

[0220] Calculated Y adjusted= 30.6 seconds, indicating that according to the situation that the actual reaction time of the operator is slower than the benchmark reaction speed, the warning threshold is appropriately increased to ensure that the operator has enough time to react.

[0221] See also Figure 7 , the steps to obtain the electronic fence monitoring results are:

[0222] S421: Based on the warning threshold adjustment result and the drone crossing time assessment result, the formula is:

[0223]

[0224] Calculate the risk level L, where α L is the time sensitivity adjustment coefficient, β L is the baseline constant, k L is the basic coefficient, M is the preset minimum risk level, T is the expected crossing time, and Y adjusted is the adjusted warning threshold, e is the base of the natural logarithm, and L is the risk level;

[0225] S422: Based on the risk level L, the risk level is compared with the preset risk level table, and corresponding warning measures are implemented according to the risk level to obtain the electronic fence monitoring result.

[0226] formula:

[0227]

[0228] Parameter details and how to obtain them

[0229] α L : Time sensitivity adjustment factor, used to adjust the impact of time difference on risk level assessment. The factor is based on simulation or historical data analysis to ensure that the sensitivity of risk level to time matches the actual flight safety requirements.

[0230] k L : Base coefficient, used to adjust the impact of time difference in risk calculation. Usually set based on empirical data to ensure that the baseline of risk assessment is consistent with the actual operational safety standards.

[0231] β L : Baseline constant used to ensure that a certain risk level is maintained even when the time difference is small. The parameters are based on security requirements and risk management strategies.

[0232] M: Minimum risk level, M is the lowest risk level set to ensure that the system can alert the operator to potential risks even under optimal conditions. This is the minimum risk threshold determined based on safety standards and regulatory requirements.

[0233] Calculation Example

[0234] Assume the following parameters: α L =0.05, k L =10,β L =2, M = 5, T = 10 seconds (the estimated time for the drone to cross the boundary), Y adjusted = 12 seconds (adjusted warning threshold).

[0235] Calculate the time difference ΔT:

[0236] ΔT=TY adjusted =10-12=-2s

[0237] Calculation of risk level L:

[0238]

[0239]

[0240] The calculated L=14 indicates a risk level of 14, which is calculated based on the time difference between the estimated crossing time and the warning threshold. Since the difference is negative, it means that the actual crossing time is shorter than the warning threshold, and the risk level increases. This high risk level reflects the high risk of the drone crossing the boundary, and timely preventive measures need to be taken to avoid possible safety incidents.
