Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of low-altitude airspace planning, specifically to a low-altitude airspace planning method and system based on micro-terminal areas. Background Technology

[0002] The increasing scale and rapid growth of drone operations will create demand for air traffic services. Low-altitude air route networks are high-speed air traffic networks at low altitudes, forming the foundation for low-altitude business scenarios and the development of the low-altitude economy. To minimize intervention in drone flights during low-altitude operations control, it is necessary to avoid environmental risks and the impact of restricted airspace in the planning of low-altitude air route networks. The construction of air route networks is closely related to the airspace environment, urban geography, and the distribution of take-off and landing points. Manual on-site surveys and planning are inefficient and slow to update, making it difficult to meet the needs of the rapidly developing low-altitude economy. It is necessary to provide efficient low-altitude airspace planning methods to provide a foundation for the rapid construction and updating of low-altitude air route networks, thereby meeting the iterative updating needs of airspace structure under the current and future development of the low-altitude economy.

[0003] Existing research has proposed several methods for low-altitude airspace planning; however, these existing technologies have the following drawbacks:

[0004] (1) The potential flight risks caused by urban environmental factors such as noise tolerance and population density were not considered;

[0005] (2) Most of them plan the routes between two points one by one without considering the overall low-altitude route network planning;

[0006] (3) It does not take into account that the route network is intelligently connected to the boundary of the take-off and landing point / take-off and landing field control area in actual operation, and different take-off and landing areas have their own take-off and landing procedures and airspace structure. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application proposes a low-altitude airspace planning method and system based on micro-terminal areas. This application constructs the scope of micro-terminal areas for take-off and landing points / take-off and landing fields / take-off and landing hubs as the airspace basis for route network planning; generates a restricted airspace structure by comprehensively considering public acceptance, potential operational risks, and environmental reliability; and realizes comprehensive planning of low-altitude route networks between all take-off and landing points under various airspace environments.

[0008] This application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] A low-altitude airspace planning method based on micro-terminal areas includes:

[0010] Generate corresponding take-off and landing areas for low-altitude take-off and landing points or take-off and landing fields, and generate take-off and landing hub areas for adjacent take-off and landing points or take-off and landing fields, so as to construct micro-terminal areas of low-altitude airspace.

[0011] By managing the feasibility of areas through a grid system, low-feasibility areas are designated as risk zones, which, together with controlled areas and no-fly zones, constitute the restricted areas of the low-altitude flight network; the restricted areas are the airspace ranges that the low-altitude flight network should not pass through.

[0012] Based on the positional relationship and shape of the restricted area, alternative intermediate points connecting each take-off and landing point or take-off and landing field are generated;

[0013] Based on the data from the candidate intermediate points and the data from the micro-terminal area, an initial low-altitude flight path network connecting all points is constructed.

[0014] Calculate the weights corresponding to each edge line in the initial low-altitude flight path network, and optimize the initial low-altitude flight path network based on the weighted network.

[0015] Based on the optimized network, redundant intermediate points are removed, and a route network and entry / exit points for each micro-terminal area are constructed to generate the final low-altitude route network.

[0016] In some implementations, the process of constructing the micro-terminal area includes:

[0017] Construct take-off and landing areas corresponding to each take-off and landing point or take-off and landing field. The area is a circular area centered on the center point of the take-off and landing point / take-off and landing field. The radius of the area is calculated based on the number of parking positions in the take-off and landing point / take-off and landing field, the maximum supported aircraft size, and the navigation and positioning accuracy.

[0018] All take-off and landing points or take-off and landing fields are hierarchically clustered according to the center point coordinates and distance thresholds until no further clustering is possible. Each cluster of take-off and landing points or take-off and landing fields with a value greater than 1 constitutes a take-off and landing hub.

[0019] For the aforementioned take-off and landing hub, a hub terminal area is constructed with the virtual center point as the center and the distance to the farthest boundary point of the original area of ​​all take-off and landing points or take-off and landing fields as the area radius; at the same time, the original area data of each take-off and landing point / take-off and landing field in the take-off and landing hub are removed.

[0020] Regional data from independent take-off and landing points or fields, together with regional data from take-off and landing hubs, constitute the micro-terminal area of ​​low-altitude airspace.

[0021] In some implementations, the hierarchical clustering based on a distance threshold includes:

[0022] Add all take-off and landing points or take-off and landing fields as separate nodes to the set;

[0023] Calculation steps: Calculate the distance between all nodes in the set, find the two closest nodes, and if the distance between the two closest nodes is less than or equal to the distance threshold, proceed to the merging step; otherwise, proceed to the detection step.

[0024] Merging step: Merge the two closest nodes into one node, and take the geometric center of all take-off and landing points or take-off and landing fields of the two closest nodes as the center point of the merged node. Add the merged node to the set, remove the original two nodes from the set, and return to the calculation step.

[0025] Detection steps: Detect the number of take-off and landing points or take-off and landing fields in each node of the set, output the nodes with a number greater than 1 as take-off and landing hubs, and use the center point of the node as the virtual center point of the take-off and landing hub.

[0029] Based on the feasibility threshold, the feasibility of all grids is checked, and all grids that meet the feasibility threshold are formed into a grid set.

[0030] For each grid in the grid set, construct a polygon object and add all polygon objects to the polygon set;

[0031] A buffer calculation is performed on the polygon set to obtain a result polygon set. Each polygon in the result polygon set represents a non-flyable area that does not meet the feasibility requirements, i.e., a risk area.

[0032] The aforementioned risk areas, together with the issued control areas and no-fly zones, constitute the restricted areas of the low-altitude air route network.

[0033] In some implementations, the process of generating the alternative intermediate points includes:

[0034] Get all vertices in the restricted area;

[0035] Establish connections between all vertices, retaining valid connections to form a full vertex connection;

[0036] The full vertex connection is simplified by removing the intersections of the connecting lines to form a simplified connection;

[0041] Edge construction steps: Calculate the distance between all unassociated edges in the point set; find the two closest points and connect them to form the first edge; add the first edge to the network edge set and mark the two points as associated edges; at the same time, add the first edge to the edge set to be detected.

[0042] Edge detection steps: Select an edge from the set of edges to be detected; calculate the distance from all points in the point set to the selected edge; select the closest point and construct two new edges from that point to the two vertices of the selected edge; simultaneously remove the selected edge from the set of edges to be detected; detect the two new edges separately; add any new edge that does not exist in the set of network edges and satisfies the condition of not intersecting with restricted areas or existing edges to both the set of network edges and the set of edges to be detected; if either of the two new edges passes the detection, mark the closest point as an associated edge;

[0043] Determine whether the set of edges to be detected is empty. If it is not empty, return to the edge detection step to perform the next round of edge detection. If it is empty, proceed to the next step.

[0044] Determine whether all points in the point set have been associated with edges. If so, proceed to the next step; otherwise, return to the edge construction step to perform the next round of edge construction.

[0045] Output all the edges in the network edge set to form an initial low-altitude flight path network connecting the candidate intermediate points and the micro-terminal area.

[0046] In some embodiments, optimizing the initial low-altitude flight path network includes:

[0047] Associate all the edge lines in the initial low-altitude flight path network with the grids divided in the restricted area generation to obtain a set of all grids associated with the edge lines on the horizontal plane;

[0048] Calculate the elevation kurtosis coefficient based on the elevation values ​​of each grid and the statistically obtained average elevation and standard deviation;

[0051] Based on the calculated feasibility, the median feasibility value of each grid is statistically analyzed;

[0052] The edge weight is calculated based on the elevation kurtosis coefficient, available height coefficient, edge length, and median feasibility value.

[0053] The weighted network is obtained by assigning weights to all edges of the initial low-altitude flight path network based on the calculated edge weights.

[0054] Based on the weighted network, the initial low-altitude flight path network is optimized.

[0055] In some implementations, optimizing the initial low-altitude flight path network based on the weighted network includes:

[0056] Add all micro-terminal areas and their center points to the terminal set, and assign them processing sequence numbers. ;in, Indicates the number of micro-terminal areas in the terminal set;

The first micro-terminal area and the first The optimal path for each micro-terminal area is marked with the edges it passes through.

[0070] Determine if there are any unprocessed micro-terminal areas. If so, return to the step of selecting an unprocessed micro-terminal area and proceed to the next micro-terminal area for processing; otherwise, proceed to the next step.

[0071] The updated edge set, intermediate point set, micro-terminal area, and corresponding entry and exit points of the micro-terminal area are output to form the final low-altitude flight path network.

[0072] On the other hand, this application proposes a low-altitude airspace planning system based on a micro-terminal area, including:

[0073] The micro-terminal area construction unit is used to generate corresponding take-off and landing areas for low-altitude take-off and landing points or take-off and landing fields, and to generate take-off and landing hub areas for adjacent take-off and landing points or take-off and landing fields, so as to construct micro-terminal areas in low-altitude airspace.

[0098] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this application are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0099] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application proposes a low-altitude airspace planning method based on a micro-terminal area, which includes the following steps:

[0100] Step 1: Generate corresponding take-off and landing areas for low-altitude take-off and landing points / fields, and generate take-off and landing hub areas for adjacent take-off and landing points / fields to construct micro-terminal areas of low-altitude airspace.

[0101] Step 2: By managing the feasibility of the area through a grid system, low-feasibility areas are designated as risk zones, which, together with control zones and no-fly zones, constitute the restricted area of ​​the low-altitude flight route network; this restricted area is the airspace that the low-altitude flight route network should not pass through.

[0102] Step 3: Based on the positional relationship and shape of the restricted area, generate alternative intermediate points connecting each take-off and landing point / take-off and landing field;

[0103] Step 4: Based on the data from the candidate intermediate points and the data from the micro-terminal area, construct an initial low-altitude flight path network connecting all points;

[0104] Step 5: Calculate the weights of each edge line in the initial low-altitude flight path network, and optimize the initial low-altitude flight path network based on the weighted network.

[0105] Step 6: Based on the optimized network, remove redundant intermediate points, construct the route network and the entry and exit points of each micro-terminal area, and generate the final low-altitude route network.

[0106] Furthermore, in step 1 of this application embodiment, a takeoff and landing point / field includes the center point coordinates (lat, lon, alt) and the number of parking positions. And the maximum supported aircraft size (aircraft length) Hekuan To avoid takeoff and landing conflicts, adjacent takeoff and landing points / fields should be subject to unified takeoff and landing scheduling to form a takeoff and landing hub. The construction process of the micro-terminal area includes:

[0107] Construction of each takeoff and landing point / takeoff and landing field area: Under the condition of constructing a circular area, the area is centered on the center point of the takeoff and landing point / takeoff and landing field, with a radius of... A circular area. (Using...) This indicates the navigation and positioning accuracy near the takeoff and landing point / field, where the radius is... The calculation formula is as follows:

[0108]

[0109] in, To find the maximum value function, the calculation result is... The value needs to be rounded up to the nearest integer according to the calculation precision.

[0110] Takeoff and landing hub detection: All takeoff and landing points / fields are determined by using the center point coordinates and categorizing them according to distance thresholds. Hierarchical clustering is performed until no further clustering is possible. Each cluster with a value greater than 1 for a takeoff / landing point / field constitutes a takeoff / landing hub. The clustering process is as follows: (a) all takeoff / landing points / fields are added to a set as individual nodes; (b) the distances between all nodes in the set are calculated, and the two closest nodes A and B are found. The distance is expressed as... ,if If the condition is met, proceed to (c); otherwise, proceed to (d). (c) Merge nodes A and B into one node, and use the geometric center of all take-off and landing points / take-off and landing fields in A and B as the center point of the node. Add the merged node to the set, remove the original nodes A and B from the set, and return to step (b). (d) Detect the number of take-off and landing points / take-off and landing fields in each node in the set. Output the nodes with a number greater than 1 as take-off and landing hubs, and use the center point of the node as the virtual center point of the take-off and landing hub.

[0111] Hub area construction: For take-off and landing hubs, the hub terminal area is constructed with the virtual center point as the center and the distance to the farthest boundary point of the original area of ​​all take-off and landing points / take-off and landing fields as the area radius; at the same time, the original area data of each take-off and landing point / take-off and landing field in the take-off and landing hub need to be removed.

[0112] Once constructed, the regional data of independent take-off and landing points / fields and the regional data of take-off and landing hubs together constitute a set of micro-terminal areas for low-altitude airspace, such as... Figures 2 to 6 The diagram shows a set of micro-terminal areas consisting of hub terminal areas and independent take-off and landing points.

[0113] Furthermore, in step 2 of this application embodiment, the process of generating the restricted area includes:

[0114] Two-dimensional airspace gridding: Based on the required accuracy and following the standards and specifications for digital airspace mapping in civil aviation, the low-altitude area to be planned is gridded. For example, the closest standard to 1-meter accuracy is the fifteenth-level grid, with a size of [missing information]. It is approximately equal to 0.97m × 0.97m at the equator.

[0115] Feasibility calculation based on survey data: Feasibility Includes runtime security Operational reliability and public acceptability Three dimensions, based on civil aviation evaluation standards:

[0116]

[0117] in, For the safety and feasibility of ground personnel, For the safety and feasibility of ground facilities, The difficulty of searching for drones after a crash The risk of injury following a drone crash can be determined using civil aviation operational safety assessment methods.

[0118]

[0119] in, This is the environmental reliability value (assessed based on a comprehensive evaluation of meteorological, electromagnetic, and obstacle environments according to civil aviation assessment methods). This is the technical reliability value (obtained by comprehensively evaluating navigation, communication, and surveillance capabilities using civil aviation assessment methods).

[0120]

[0121] in, This is a value used to assess privacy protection needs. The value is the assessment value for the impact of operational noise. The corresponding value can be obtained according to the assessment method for public acceptability of civil aviation.

[0122]

[0123] Assessments conducted in accordance with civil aviation-related assessment methods are generally regional in nature. After obtaining the assessment results, the region can be associated with a grid, and then the feasibility of the grid can be assigned a value.

[0124] Risk zone extraction: based on feasibility threshold Feasibility was tested for all grid areas to ensure compliance. All the meshes constitute a mesh set; for each mesh, construct a polygon object with its four vertices, and add all polygon objects to the polygon set. In the middle; perform buffer calculations on the polygon set to obtain the resulting polygon set. :

[0125]

[0126] Among them, among them, For a buffer with a value of 0, the calculation merges adjacent polygons in the set into a new polygon, resulting in a polygon set. Each polygon in the diagram represents a non-flyable area that does not meet the feasibility requirements.

[0127] Restricted Area Generation: The number of low-altitude control areas, no-fly zones, and restricted areas issued by local governments, civil aviation, and military aviation authorities, together with risk area data, constitute a set of low-altitude flight restricted areas.

[0128] Restricted areas are airspaces that are not permitted for low-altitude aircraft under normal circumstances, and should not be crossed or approached too closely when planning low-altitude route networks.

[0129] Furthermore, in step 3 of this embodiment, the candidate intermediate points are selected according to the principle of being located in the middle of different restricted areas, so as to ensure that the subsequently planned routes will not be too close to the restricted areas. The process for generating candidate intermediate points is as follows:

[0130] Obtain the vertex coordinates of all restricted areas. For circular and elliptical regions, select the corresponding points on the edges as vertices with a certain precision.

[0131] Establish connecting lines between all vertices, retaining valid connecting lines, to form a structure like... Figure 2 The diagram shows a full vertex connection; the prerequisite for the connection to hold is that the line connecting any two points other than the vertices does not intersect any restricted region (i.e., the connection cannot cross any restricted region). and connecting wires have:

[0132]

[0133] in, The number of points in the set is ∞ when there are lines or regions.

[0134] Simplify the connection of all vertices by removing the intersections of the connecting lines, resulting in a structure like... Figure 3 The simplified connection shown applies to two intersecting connecting lines. and The corresponding connecting line length is and The logic for selecting lines to delete is as follows:

[0135]

[0136] For all connecting lines in the simplified connection, calculate their corresponding center points. To ensure accuracy, the latitude and longitude coordinates need to be converted to a spherical coordinate system such as ECEF coordinates using a standard transformation algorithm. The coordinates of the two vertices after transformation are represented as: and The corresponding center point is:

[0137]

[0138] Remove all connecting lines from the simplified connection and record all center points as alternative intermediate points for the planned route.

[0139] In step 3 of this application embodiment, the midpoint selection can be disregarded during the initial low-altitude flight path network construction process. Instead, different restricted areas are treated as force fields, and an artificial potential field algorithm is used to simulate the flight of the UAV in different micro-terminal intervals within the airspace. All possible flight trajectories are obtained, and adjacent trajectory segments are merged. Intersection points of intersecting trajectories are calculated to obtain an initial low-altitude flight path network containing all possible routes.

[0140] Furthermore, in step 4 of this embodiment, the process of constructing the initial low-altitude flight path network is as follows:

[0141] Add all candidate intermediate point coordinates and micro-terminal area terminal coordinates to the point set. middle;

[0142] Compute point set Calculate the distance between all points in the network that are not associated with any edge (initially, the number of edge lines is 0, and all points are not associated with any edge lines). Find the two closest points and connect them to construct the first edge line (if this edge line intersects any restricted area, select the two points with the shortest distance after removing this edge line to form the first edge line). Add the edge line to the network edge line set. In the process, two points are marked as existing related lines, and the edges are added to the set of edges to be detected. In the initial low-altitude flight path network, all candidate intermediate points are far from the restricted area. Therefore, the criterion for determining intersection is that the connecting line has no common point with the restricted area; that is, for any restricted area... and connecting wires have:

[0143]

[0144] From the set of edges to be detected Select a border Calculate the point set All points (excluding those forming the boundary lines) (two points) to the edge line Choose the point closest to the given distance. Constructing the edge line From two vertices to the point The two sides and At the same time, the edge line From the set of edges to be detected Remove from;

[0145] The two newly constructed edges are tested separately, and the network edge set is then compiled. It does not exist in ( And edges that do not intersect with the restricted area and existing edges are added to the network edge set E and the edge set to be detected F; if either edge passes the detection, the point is added to the network edge set E and the edge set to be detected F. Mark as an existing related line;

[0146] Determine if the set of edges to be detected, F, is empty. If it is not empty, return to the step of selecting an edge from the set of edges to be detected, F, and proceed to the next round of detection. If it is empty, proceed to the next step.

[0147] Determine whether all points in point set D have associated lines. If so, proceed to the next step; otherwise, return to the step of calculating the distance between all unassociated points in point set D and construct the next round of edges.

[0148] Output all edges in the network edge set E to form the initial low-altitude flight path network connecting the candidate intermediate points and micro-terminal areas, such as... Figure 4 As shown.

[0149] Furthermore, in step 5 of this embodiment, the process of optimizing the initial low-altitude flight path network first requires assigning weights to each edge of the initial low-altitude flight path network, involving data such as elevation, feasibility, and distance. The weighting calculation for a single edge is as follows:

[0150] Associating the edge lines with the meshes generated during the restriction zone generation yields a set of all meshes associated with the edge lines on the horizontal plane.

[0151] Calculate the elevation kurtosis coefficient: Based on the elevation data of the grid-connected region, obtain the elevation value for each grid, and statistically calculate the statistical average elevation of the elevation distribution along the grid lines. Standard deviation ,use The kurtosis coefficient represents the number of grid cells. for:

[0152]

[0153] in, For the first Elevation values ​​of each grid cell. The larger the value, the smaller the altitude variation along the route, which is more conducive to unifying the flight altitude along the route and avoiding flight risks along the route.

[0154] Calculate the usable height coefficient: based on obstacle avoidance principles, the maximum height along the route. High safety separation standard The planned maximum flight altitude is Then the height coefficient can be used along the line. for:

[0155]

[0156] Available height coefficient The larger the altitude, the more drones can be accommodated on the same length of flight path during operation, and the lower the operational risk.

[0157] Calculate the length of the edge: based on the latitude and longitude coordinates of the two endpoints of the edge. and the radius of the Earth It can calculate the length of the edge line. :

[0158]

[0159] To ensure consistency in the coefficient range of the edge length during final weighting, it can be scaled down proportionally according to a preset reference value M: The longer the distance, the greater the cost for the drone to fly over.

[0160] Feasibility coefficient calculation: Based on the feasibility calculated during the generation of the restricted area, the median feasibility value of each grid is statistically analyzed. , The larger the size, the lower the operational risk.

[0161] Calculate the edge weights: Edge weights : .

[0162] After assigning weights to all edges of the initial low-altitude flight path network, a weighted network is obtained. The optimized network is then generated from the initial low-altitude flight path network, following this process:

[0163] Retrieve all micro-terminal areas, add all micro-terminal areas and their center points to a set, and let the number of micro-terminal areas be q; let the processing sequence number... ;

[0164] Take the first element from the set. Each micro-terminal area, and assigns a subsequent processing sequence number. ;

[0165] Take the first element from the set. Individual micro-terminal areas;

[0166] Find the connection from the initial low-altitude route network. The first micro-terminal area and the first The optimal path for each micro-terminal area (i.e., the path with the maximum cumulative weight) can be adopted. Algorithm (or Dijkstra's algorithm), marking the edges traversed;

[0167] The initial low-altitude route network will connect the first The first micro-terminal area and the first Set the edges of other micro-terminal zones outside the current micro-terminal zone to unavailable, and re-find the connection. The first micro-terminal area and the first The optimal path for each micro-terminal area is determined, and the traversed edges are marked. This operation is to ensure that the optimal path is found in the first micro-terminal area. The first micro-terminal area and the first When flying between micro-terminal areas, they can avoid passing over other terminal areas, reducing the impact on takeoff and landing;

[0168] judge Is it If yes, proceed to the next step; otherwise... Returns the first element retrieved from the set. The steps for each micro-terminal area;

[0169] judge Is it If yes, proceed to the next step; otherwise... Returns the first element retrieved from the set. The steps for each micro-terminal area;

[0170] Remove all unmarked edges from the initial low-altitude flight path network, output the remaining edges and associated intermediate points to obtain the optimized network, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0171] Furthermore, in step 6 of this embodiment, the final low-altitude flight path network generation process is as follows:

[0172] Intermediate point generation: Based on the optimized network, from the point set... Remove all points that are not associated with the edges to obtain the final set of intermediate points;

[0173] Calculate the entry and exit points of the micro-terminal area: Select an unprocessed micro-terminal area, convert the center point coordinates to the ground coordinate system according to the standard formula, and record them as follows. Then the radius is The micro-terminal area can be represented as:

[0174]

[0175] Obtain its associated edges and the coordinates of its corresponding midpoints. The edge line can be represented as:

[0176]

[0177] Solving the system of equations consisting of the micro-terminal region equation and the edge line equation within the corresponding range will yield the intersection point. The number of intersection points can be obtained by counting the number of associated edges.

[0178] Update the edge line: Based on the intersection coordinates, change the edge line from the midpoint to the center point of the micro-terminal area to the midpoint to the corresponding intersection point, and use the intersection point as the entry and exit point of the current micro-terminal area;

[0179] Determine if there are still unprocessed micro-terminal areas. If so, return to the step of calculating the entry and exit points of micro-terminal areas to process the next micro-terminal area; otherwise, proceed to the next step.

[0180] The updated edge set, intermediate point set, micro-terminal area, and corresponding entry and exit points of the micro-terminal area are output to form the final low-altitude flight path network, such as... Figure 6 As shown.
