Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aircraft, and particularly to a low-altitude aircraft traffic management system. Background Art

[0002] The low-altitude economy refers to a comprehensive economic form formed through technological innovation and model innovation with the low-altitude airspace (usually referring to the altitude range of 100 meters to 3000 meters) as the activity scope and drones, aircraft, general aviation aircraft, etc. as carriers. With the rapid development of the low-altitude economy, the number of low-altitude aircraft (especially unmanned aircraft) shows an exponential growth trend. To ensure airspace safety, the management department is gradually establishing and improving the low-altitude traffic management regulations system, which poses an urgent need for the intelligent monitoring and management of low-altitude traffic. The existing low-altitude flight control systems mainly focus on the detection and countermeasure of illegal aircraft, and generally lack the traffic management function for legal aircraft. They can neither achieve the intelligent command of airway traffic nor carry out traffic law enforcement according to regulations. This lack of function leads to management dilemmas in the low-altitude airway, such as being unable to dredge traffic congestion of legal aircraft and having no basis for dealing with violations. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a low-altitude traffic management system capable of enforcing management on legal aircraft.

[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a low-altitude aircraft traffic management system, including a supervision platform and a patrol and management drone. The patrol and management drone is equipped with a communication module and a camera module, and communicates with the supervision platform and low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located through the communication module; the patrol and management drone uses the communication module to receive the identification information and flight information of the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located, and uses the camera module to capture the video data of the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located. According to the preset low-altitude flight traffic rules, law enforcement instructions are generated based on the identification information, the flight information, and the video data and sent to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located for law enforcement management; if the patrol and management drone determines that it cannot enforce management on the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located, it will transmit the identification information, the flight information, and the video data back to the supervision platform. The supervision platform generates law enforcement instructions according to the operations of the management personnel and based on the preset low-altitude flight traffic rules, and the patrol and management drone sends the law enforcement instructions to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located for law enforcement management.

[0005] Further, there are multiple patrol and management drones, and the multiple patrol and management drones can fly and patrol in different airspaces respectively.

[0006] Further, the patrol and management UAV determines that it cannot enforce law and manage the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located based on the identification information, the flight information, and the video data.

[0007] Further, the patrol and management UAV includes a central computing module. Specifically, the central computing module is used to determine that the UAV itself cannot enforce law and manage the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located, and the central computing module is also used to generate law enforcement instructions.

[0008] Further, the supervision platform includes a computer and an input device for the management personnel to operate. Specifically, the computer is used to generate law enforcement instructions according to the operations of the management personnel.

[0009] Further, the communication module is a 5G mobile communication module that defines the A2X communication protocol. The communication module of the patrol and management UAV sends law enforcement instructions to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located through the broadcast channel of the A2X communication protocol.

[0010] Further, a network base station is included. The network base station includes a 5G base station and a 5G core network. The communication module of the patrol and management UAV is communicatively connected to the supervision platform through the network base station.

[0011] Further, the patrol and management UAV is equipped with a data storage module, and the identification information, flight information, and video data of the low-altitude aircraft are stored in the data storage module.

[0012] Further, the patrol and management UAV is equipped with a supervision tool for driving away low-altitude aircraft or birds in the airspace where it is located.

[0013] Further, the supervision tool includes a radio interference device, a sonic driver, and / or a UAV capture net.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The patrol and management UAV generates law enforcement instructions according to the preset low-altitude flight traffic rules based on the identification information, flight information, and video data of the low-altitude aircraft, and sends the law enforcement instructions to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located for law enforcement management. In this way, by directly sending law enforcement instructions to the low-altitude aircraft using the patrol and management UAV, efficient on-site law enforcement for legal low-altitude aircraft can be achieved without relaying through a network base station; if the patrol and management UAV determines that it cannot enforce law and manage the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located, it will transmit the identification information, flight information, and video data of the low-altitude aircraft back to the supervision platform. The supervision platform generates law enforcement instructions according to the operations of the management personnel based on the preset low-altitude flight traffic rules and sends the law enforcement instructions to the patrol and management UAV. The patrol and management UAV sends the law enforcement instructions to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located for law enforcement management. In this way, accurate law enforcement for legal low-altitude aircraft can be achieved by using the supervision platform according to the operations of the management personnel.

[0018] The following further elaborates on the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0019] This embodiment provides a low-altitude aircraft traffic management system. As Figure 1 shown, the low-altitude aircraft traffic management system includes a supervision platform, a network base station, and patrol and management drones. The network base station includes a 5G base station and a 5G core network, where: The 5G base station is the core infrastructure of the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G), responsible for the transmission, reception, and processing of wireless signals, and providing users with high-rate, low-latency, and large-connection communication services; The 5G core network is the core infrastructure in the mobile communication network that connects the radio access network to external networks (such as the Internet and other operator networks).

[0020] In this embodiment, there are multiple patrol and management drones, and multiple patrol and management drones can perform flight patrol and management in different airspaces respectively. As Figure 2As shown in the figure, the patrol drone is equipped with a communication module, a camera module, a supervision tool, a central computing module, an instruction broadcast module, a flight data acquisition module, and a supervision platform communication module. The camera module includes a camera and a video data acquisition module. The supervision tool is a management measure implementation module that can implement management measures on low-altitude aircraft. The communication module is a 5G mobile communication module that defines the A2X communication protocol. The application of the A2X communication protocol in the field of drones can realize the real-time information interaction and intelligent collaboration between drones and the surrounding environment (other drones, infrastructure, networks, etc.), so as to improve the traffic safety, efficiency, and autonomous flight ability of drones. Low-altitude aircraft are equipped with 5G mobile communication modules. The patrol drone is communicatively connected to the supervision platform and low-altitude aircraft in its airspace through the communication module, and the supervision platform is communicatively connected to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where the patrol drone is located, and each low-altitude aircraft is communicatively connected to each other. Among them, the communication module of the patrol drone is communicatively connected to the supervision platform through the 5G mobile communication network constructed by the network base station, and is communicatively connected to the low-altitude aircraft in its airspace through the broadcast channel of the A2X communication protocol. The supervision platform is communicatively connected to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where the patrol drone is located through the network base station, and each low-altitude aircraft is communicatively connected to each other through the broadcast channel of the A2X communication protocol. Specifically, the patrol drone and the 5G base station, and the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where the patrol drone is located and the 5G base station are respectively communicatively connected through the wireless air interface Uu interface 101 of the 5G mobile communication network. The patrol drone and the low-altitude aircraft in its airspace, and each low-altitude aircraft are respectively communicatively connected through the wireless air interface PC5 interface 102 of the A2X communication protocol of the 5G mobile communication network. The 5G base station and the 5G core network, and the 5G core network and the supervision platform are communicatively connected through the IP network interface 103.

[0021] The supervision tools carried by the patrol drone include radio interference equipment, acoustic wave repellers, and drone capture nets. The patrol drone can emit directional radio frequency signals to the low-altitude aircraft in its airspace through the radio interference equipment, interfering with the communication links of the low-altitude aircraft (such as GPS, remote control signals), forcing them to return or land, so as to drive away the low-altitude aircraft in its airspace, or capture illegal low-altitude aircraft through the drone capture net. The patrol drone can also emit high-frequency sound waves or specific sound pressures through the acoustic wave repeller to interfere with the auditory systems of birds (effective for birds), so as to drive away the birds in its airspace.

[0022] When a low-altitude aircraft enters the airspace of a patrol drone during flight patrol, the patrol drone sends a report instruction to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace through the broadcast channel of the A2X communication protocol of its instruction broadcast module and communication module, requesting the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace to report its identification information and flight information. The low-altitude aircraft is equipped with an instruction processing module. After receiving the report instruction from the patrol drone, the instruction processing module sends the representation information and flight information to the patrol drone through the 5G mobile communication module. The patrol drone uses the communication module and flight data acquisition module to receive the identification information and flight information of the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace, and uses the camera module to capture the video data of the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace, and then stores the identification information, flight information and video data of the low-altitude aircraft in the data storage module carried by the patrol drone. The central computing module analyzes and judges the low-altitude traffic conditions and the legality of the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where the patrol drone is located based on the identification information, flight information and video data of the low-altitude aircraft in the data storage module, and then judges whether the patrol drone itself can enforce law and management on the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace according to the low-altitude traffic conditions. Specifically, if the number of low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where the patrol drone is located is small (for example, no more than 10), the central computing module analyzes and judges that the low-altitude traffic conditions in the airspace where the patrol drone is located are simple based on the identification information, flight information and video data of the low-altitude aircraft, so it is judged that the patrol drone itself can enforce law and management on the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace; if the number of low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where the patrol drone is located is large (for example, more than 10), the central computing module analyzes and judges that the low-altitude traffic conditions in the airspace where the patrol drone is located are complex based on the identification information, flight information and video data of the low-altitude aircraft, so it is judged that the patrol drone itself cannot enforce law and management on the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace.

[0023] In the case where it is judged that the patrol drone itself can enforce law and management on the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace, the central computing module of the patrol drone generates an enforcement instruction based on the preset low-altitude flight traffic rules according to the identification information, flight information and video data of the low-altitude aircraft, and sends the enforcement instruction to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace through the broadcast channel of the A2X communication protocol of its instruction broadcast module and communication module for law enforcement management, urging legal low-altitude aircraft to comply with the low-altitude flight traffic rules and promptly dredge traffic congestion, using supervision tools to warn and counter illegal low-altitude aircraft that illegally invade the flight path, and ensuring the orderly and unobstructed low-altitude flight space. In this way, using the patrol drone to directly send an enforcement instruction to the low-altitude aircraft can achieve efficient on-site law enforcement on legal low-altitude aircraft without relaying through a network base station.

[0024] When it is determined that the patrol and management UAV itself cannot enforce law and management on low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located, the central computing module of the patrol and management UAV transmits the identification information, flight information, and video data of the low-altitude aircraft in the data storage module back to the supervision platform via the network base station through the communication module. The supervision platform includes a computer, an IP communication module, and an input device for management personnel to operate. The computer serves as an instruction processing module. After the management personnel learn the identification information, flight information, and video data of the low-altitude aircraft through the supervision platform, they can perform management operations on the input device of the supervision platform. The supervision platform uses the computer to generate law enforcement instructions according to the operations of the management personnel based on the preset low-altitude flight traffic rules, and then sends the law enforcement instructions to the patrol and management UAV through the network base station. The patrol and management UAV sends the law enforcement instructions to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where it is located through the broadcast channel of the A2X communication protocol of its communication module for law enforcement and management, urges legal low-altitude aircraft to abide by the low-altitude flight traffic rules, timely dredges traffic congestion, uses supervision tools to warn and counter illegal low-altitude aircraft that illegally intrude into the flight route, and ensures the orderly and unobstructed low-altitude flight space. In this way, the supervision platform is used to achieve precise law enforcement on legal low-altitude aircraft according to the operations of the management personnel.

[0025] In this embodiment, since the supervision platform is communicatively connected to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where the patrol and management UAV is located through the network base station, after the supervision platform uses the computer to generate law enforcement instructions according to the operations of the management personnel based on the preset low-altitude flight traffic rules, the law enforcement instructions can be directly sent to the low-altitude aircraft in the airspace where the patrol and management UAV is located through the network base station for law enforcement and management.

[0026] As described above, this is only the implementation mode of the present invention, and the scope of patent protection is not limited thereby. Those skilled in the art make non-substantive changes or substitutions based on the present invention, and still fall within the scope of patent protection.
