Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air traffic management, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, electronic equipment, and medium for constructing an airspace structure with multiple takeoff and landing units. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the low-altitude economy, the application of low-altitude transportation tools such as drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is becoming increasingly widespread. Aircraft traffic flow within low-altitude airspace continues to grow, and existing low-altitude airspace structure design schemes are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of large-scale, safe, and efficient operations. Current airspace structure design studies primarily focus on single-takeoff and landing unit terminal areas, employing a centralized scheduling model. All aircraft must enter and exit from a single takeoff and landing unit and undergo centralized scheduling, which easily leads to a single-point bottleneck effect, resulting in prolonged aircraft takeoff and landing waiting times, wasted airspace resources, and increased operational safety due to concentrated traffic flow. The inherent risks result in low-altitude airspace operation having both low safety and utilization rates, failing to meet the continuously growing demand for low-altitude traffic. Furthermore, the few studies on the airspace structure of multi-take-off and landing unit (TOU) terminal areas typically involve simply merging and managing the airspace corresponding to multiple TOUs without effectively isolating the traffic flows of aircraft from different TOUs. This easily leads to multi-directional intersecting traffic flows from aircraft from different TOUs, significantly increasing the probability of safety accidents such as collisions and scrapes between low-altitude aircraft. The safety risks are extremely high, making it difficult to promote and apply in actual large-scale low-altitude aircraft operation scenarios. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0020] The airspace structure construction method for multiple takeoff and landing units provided in this application embodiment can be applied to... Figure 1 In the system architecture shown, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system may include: an aircraft cluster, a terminal, and a processor.
[0021] An aircraft cluster consists of multiple aircraft, each of which sends its own attribute data to a processor. The terminal is used to send the number of takeoff and landing units in the terminal area of the takeoff and landing field to the processor; In this context, a takeoff and landing unit can be understood as an independent operational unit built around the core functions of aircraft takeoff and landing, possessing both ground facilities and airspace attributes. It serves as the fundamental scheduling and operational node in the airspace structure of a multi-takeoff and landing unit terminal area. The core function of a takeoff and landing unit is to facilitate the entire process of an aircraft transitioning from a stationary position on the ground to flight (takeoff) and from flight back to a stationary position on the ground (landing), essentially providing dedicated independent takeoff and landing stations for low-altitude aircraft such as UAVs and eVTOL aircraft. In this application, multiple takeoff and landing units operate independently, with each unit corresponding to a dedicated traffic flow (aircraft only enter and exit through their corresponding takeoff and landing unit). This effectively diverts airspace traffic, avoiding the single-point bottleneck effect caused by centralized scheduling of a single takeoff and landing unit, and is fundamental to improving airspace utilization.
[0022] For any takeoff and landing unit, there are three zones: the Touchdown and Departure Zone (TLOF), the Final Approach and Takeoff Zone (FATO), and the Safety Zone (SA).
[0023] A. The grounding and takeoff areas are the core functional areas where aircraft actually complete takeoff, takeoff, landing, and grounding operations.
[0024] B. The final approach and takeoff area is the connecting area for the aircraft's attitude adjustment before landing and the initial transition after takeoff.
[0025] C. The Safety Zone (SA) is a protective area for takeoff and landing operations that surrounds the grounding and departure areas and the final approach and takeoff areas, isolating them from external interference.
[0026] The processor is used to receive attribute data and unit numbers of each aircraft in order to execute the airspace structure construction method for multiple take-off and landing units provided in this application.
[0027] With the rapid development of the low-altitude economy, the application of low-altitude transportation tools such as drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is becoming increasingly widespread. Aircraft traffic flow within low-altitude airspace continues to grow, and existing low-altitude airspace structure design schemes are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of large-scale, safe, and efficient operations. Current airspace structure design studies primarily focus on single-takeoff and landing unit terminal areas, employing a centralized scheduling model. All aircraft must enter and exit from a single takeoff and landing unit and undergo centralized scheduling, which easily leads to a single-point bottleneck effect, resulting in prolonged aircraft takeoff and landing waiting times, wasted airspace resources, and increased operational safety due to concentrated traffic flow. The inherent risks result in low-altitude airspace operation having both low safety and utilization rates, failing to meet the continuously growing demand for low-altitude traffic. Furthermore, the few studies on the airspace structure of multi-take-off and landing unit (TOU) terminal areas typically involve simply merging and managing the airspace corresponding to multiple TOUs without effectively isolating the traffic flows of aircraft from different TOUs. This easily leads to multi-directional intersecting traffic flows from aircraft from different TOUs, significantly increasing the probability of safety accidents such as collisions and scrapes between low-altitude aircraft. The safety risks are extremely high, making it difficult to promote and apply in actual large-scale low-altitude aircraft operation scenarios.
[0028] Therefore, this application provides a method for constructing an airspace structure with multiple take-off and landing units, which solves the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, avoids traffic flow conflicts, ensures low-altitude operation safety, and improves airspace utilization and capacity.
[0029] The preferred embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application. Furthermore, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0030] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for constructing an airspace structure for multiple takeoff and landing units, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method may include: Step S210: Obtain the number of takeoff and landing units, the minimum circle diameter of the horizontal projection of the aircraft corresponding to each takeoff and landing unit, and the attribute data of each aircraft.
[0031] Specifically, based on the low-altitude traffic demand, geographical space capacity, and aircraft operation scale of the terminal area, the number of takeoff and landing units to be deployed in the terminal area is determined, denoted as M. A takeoff and landing unit is an independent operational unit built around aircraft takeoff and landing. Each takeoff and landing unit includes touchdown and departure areas, final approach and takeoff areas, and a safety area. Furthermore, the centers of multiple takeoff and landing units will be evenly distributed in a circular structure to achieve independent operation. Therefore, determining the number of units M must simultaneously consider airspace resource utilization and traffic flow diversion needs, avoiding a single-point bottleneck effect due to too few units, or excessive fragmentation of airspace allocation due to too many units.
[0032] Each takeoff and landing unit can serve multiple aircraft types (such as multi-rotor UAVs, electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, etc.). The minimum circular diameter of the aircraft's projected profile on the horizontal plane is determined through actual measurements or aircraft design parameter documents. This can also be understood as the minimum outer circle diameter of the aircraft's collision protection zone, denoted as D. The minimum circular diameter D must completely enclose the aircraft's maximum horizontal profile dimension. It can be understood that when each takeoff and landing unit serves multiple aircraft of different types, if the minimum circular diameters of the multiple aircraft corresponding to different aircraft types are different, the largest minimum circular diameter is selected as the minimum circular diameter of each takeoff and landing unit. Combined with... Figure 3 As shown, taking four takeoff and landing units as an example, the diameter of the touchdown and departure areas is the same as the minimum circle diameter, which is D; the diameter of the circle formed by the touchdown and departure areas and the final approach and takeoff area is 2D; the diameter of the circle formed by the touchdown and departure areas, the final approach and takeoff area and the safety area is 3D.
[0033] The attribute data should include at least: the aircraft's altitude, horizontal braking distance in the horizontal direction, and vertical braking distance in the vertical direction.
[0034] Step S220: Based on the number of units, the minimum circle diameter, and the radiation diameter of each aircraft radiating outward from the intermediate approach positioning point to the outside of the terminal area, determine the sector area corresponding to each takeoff and landing unit.
[0035] Specifically, step 1: Based on the number of units, the minimum circle diameter, and the configured safe distance between adjacent take-off and landing units, determine the radius of the ring containing multiple take-off and landing units; Since the centers of the M take-off and landing units need to be evenly distributed on the same ring, the radius r of the ring is calculated based on the sine theorem in plane geometry and the constraint of the safe distance (center-to-center distance) 4D between adjacent take-off and landing units.
[0036] Combination Figure 3As shown, taking four take-off and landing units as an example, the centers of the four take-off and landing units need to be evenly distributed on the same circular ring. According to the sine theorem in plane geometry, combined with the constraint of the safety distance 4D between adjacent take-off and landing units, the radius r of the circular ring is calculated.
[0037] The centers of the M take-off and landing units uniformly distributed on the annulus are considered as vertices of a regular M-gon. The distance between adjacent vertices (i.e., the safety distance between adjacent take-off and landing units) is 4D. The radius r of the circumcircle of the regular M-gon (i.e., the annulus containing the take-off and landing units) satisfies:
[0038] The circular radius r calculated in this way can ensure that the centers of the M take-off and landing units are evenly distributed on the circular ring, and the center-to-center distance between adjacent take-off and landing units meets the 4D safety distance, providing a horizontal spatial reference for subsequent sector-shaped airspace division.
[0039] Step 2: Based on the radius of the circular ring, the radiation diameter and number of units of each aircraft radiating outward from the intermediate approach positioning point to the outside of the terminal area, determine the sector area corresponding to each takeoff and landing unit.
[0040] Step 2-1: For any takeoff and landing unit, based on the radius of the circle, the radiation diameter of the aircraft corresponding to the configured takeoff and landing unit radiating outward from the intermediate approach positioning point, and the number of units, determine the arc angle corresponding to each takeoff and landing unit.
[0041] Among them, combined Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal projection positions of the intermediate approach positioning point (MF1) and the final approach positioning point (MF2) are completely aligned with the center of the corresponding takeoff and landing unit. Simply put, on the horizontal plane (ignoring altitude), directly above the center of each takeoff and landing unit, there is an MF1 and an MF2 respectively. The two are not offset from the center of the takeoff and landing unit in the horizontal direction, ensuring that the aircraft's approach path from the positioning point to the takeoff and landing unit is direct and without additional turning deviation, avoiding complex approach paths or conflicts caused by horizontal position misalignment.
[0042] It should be noted that the intermediate approach ring is a virtual ring formed on the horizontal plane by the intermediate approach positioning points MF1 corresponding to all take-off and landing units: since the horizontal position of each MF1 is consistent with the center of the take-off and landing unit, and the centers of all take-off and landing units are distributed on the ring with a radius of r, the horizontal projection of all MF1s also naturally constitutes a ring with a radius of r. All MF1s are uniformly set to the first altitude H. The first altitude is the initial transition altitude after the aircraft enters the terminal area. When the aircraft flies from the external airspace to the MF1, it first flies steadily at the first altitude to complete preparation operations such as heading alignment and speed adjustment, and then transitions to the final approach positioning point below.
[0043] The final approach circle is a virtual circle formed by the final approach positioning points MF2 corresponding to all landing and takeoff units on the horizontal plane: Since the horizontal position coincides with the center of the landing and takeoff unit, its horizontal projection also forms a circle with a radius of r, and the final approach circle is coaxial (same center) with the intermediate approach circle and the landing and takeoff unit center circle, ensuring that the three are completely aligned horizontally; The altitude of all MF2 is uniformly set to the second altitude h, and h < H. The second altitude is the final transition altitude for the aircraft's approach. After the aircraft descends from MF1 (the first altitude H) to MF2 (the second altitude h), it can directly enter the final approach and takeoff area of the landing and takeoff unit to complete the subsequent landing operation.
[0044] The radiation diameter is the maximum horizontal span of the fan-shaped airspace formed by radiating from the intermediate approach positioning point to the outside of the terminal area, denoted as R. It needs to cover the complete approach path of the aircraft from the outside of the terminal area to the intermediate approach positioning point to ensure that the aircraft can stably complete attitude adjustment and speed control.
[0045] The expression for the arc angle is:
[0046] Among them, is the arc angle, is the number of units, is the radiation diameter, is the minimum circle diameter.
[0047] Step 2-2: Determine the fan-shaped area according to the intermediate approach positioning point, radiation diameter and arc angle.
[0048] Specifically, this step takes the intermediate approach positioning point as the radiation starting point, and combines the horizontal range of the radiation diameter and the angular range of the arc angle to define the spatial boundary of the fan-shaped area.
[0049] Each landing and takeoff unit corresponds to 1 intermediate approach positioning point (MF1). The horizontal position of this positioning point is at a horizontal distance of the circle radius r from the center of the corresponding landing and takeoff unit, and the altitude is set to a fixed altitude suitable for the aircraft's approach, that is, the first altitude, which is used as a transition node after the aircraft enters the terminal area. After the aircraft flies from the external airspace to MF1, it then approaches the landing and takeoff unit along the fan-shaped area.
[0050] Combined with Figure 4 As shown, taking MF1 as the radiation center, draw two rays towards the outside of the terminal area (away from the landing and takeoff unit). The included angle between the two rays is the arc angle, forming the angular boundary of the fan-shaped area.
[0051] Starting from MF1, extend along the above two rays towards the outside of the terminal area. The maximum horizontal extension distance is R / 2 (since the radiation diameter R is the maximum horizontal span of the fan-shaped area), forming the radial boundary of the fan-shaped area.
[0052] The height range of the sector area is limited to the altitude layer where the first altitude of the intermediate approach positioning point is located, ensuring that the sector area is compatible with the altitude requirements of aircraft approach.
[0053] By defining the arc angle, radial boundary, and altitude as described above, a dedicated and independent sector area is ultimately formed for each takeoff and landing unit. This sector area serves only the aircraft traffic flow of the corresponding takeoff and landing unit, achieving effective isolation of multi-directional traffic flow.
[0054] Step S230: Based on the attribute data of each aircraft, determine the horizontal and vertical safe distances of each aircraft in the hovering area.
[0055] The attribute data includes: aircraft altitude, minimum circle diameter of the aircraft's horizontal projection, horizontal braking distance, and vertical braking distance. The hovering area is a designated waiting area for aircraft with waiting needs, designed to improve airspace resource utilization.
[0056] Furthermore, in combination Figure 5 As shown, firstly, a sector-shaped cross-section is constructed using the sector region as the horizontal base and the height L as the vertical range, and the area containing this sector-shaped cross-section is defined as the hovering region. Here, L = Hh. Then, based on the aircraft's attribute data, this hovering region is divided into multiple independent sub-regions.
[0057] Obtaining multiple independent sub-regions may specifically include: Step 1: For any aircraft, based on the aircraft's altitude and the minimum circle diameter of the aircraft's horizontal projection, determine the spherical radius of the spherical protection zone model corresponding to the aircraft; The expression for the radius of a sphere is:
[0058] in, The radius of the sphere is 1. It is a quantified form of the aircraft's maximum vertical dimension (i.e., twice the height of the aircraft).
[0059] Step 2: Determine the horizontal safety distance based on the radius of the sphere and the aircraft's horizontal braking distance;
[0060] in, For horizontal safety distance, This refers to the horizontal braking distance.
[0061] Step 3: Determine the vertical safety distance based on the radius of the sphere and the aircraft's vertical braking distance.
[0062]
[0063] in, For vertical safety distance, This is the vertical braking distance.
[0064] In summary, the horizontal and vertical safe distances for each aircraft in each takeoff and landing unit were obtained.
[0065] In some embodiments, for the hovering area of any take-off and landing unit, the maximum horizontal safety distance and the maximum vertical safety distance are selected from multiple horizontal safety distances and multiple vertical safety distances corresponding to the take-off and landing unit, and multiple independent sub-regions of the corresponding hovering area are determined based on the maximum horizontal safety distance and the maximum vertical safety distance.
[0066] Horizontally, with MF1 as the center, along the radial direction of the fan-shaped area (away from the takeoff and landing unit), horizontal spacing zones are sequentially divided according to the maximum horizontal safety distance. The first spacing zone is inner zone 1 (close to MF1), the second spacing zone is inner zone 2, and so on, until the radial diameter R of the fan-shaped area is covered. Each horizontal spacing zone can only accommodate one row of aircraft, ensuring that the horizontal distance between adjacent aircraft is not less than the maximum horizontal safety distance.
[0067] In the vertical direction, within the vertical range of height L, starting from the height h closest to MF2, the vertical height layers are divided sequentially according to the maximum vertical safety distance. The first height layer is the bottom layer I (close to h), the second height layer is the bottom layer II, and so on until the coverage height L. Each vertical height layer can only accommodate one layer of aircraft to ensure that the vertical distance between adjacent aircraft is not less than the maximum vertical safety distance.
[0068] Step S240: Based on the radiation diameter, the first altitude of the intermediate approach positioning point, the second altitude of the final approach positioning point, multiple horizontal safety distances, and multiple vertical safety distances, determine the number of aircraft that can be accommodated in the horizontal and vertical directions of the hovering area.
[0069] Specifically, the maximum horizontal safety distance and the maximum vertical safety distance are determined from multiple horizontal safety distances and multiple vertical safety distances, respectively.
[0070] Multiple sub-regions of the hovering area were determined by using the radiation diameter, the first altitude of the intermediate approach positioning point, the second altitude of the final approach positioning point, the maximum horizontal safety distance, and the maximum vertical safety distance.
[0071] Based on the radiation diameter and the maximum horizontal safety distance among multiple horizontal safety distances, a first number of aircraft that can be accommodated in the horizontal direction of the hovering area is determined; this first number is also the number of first sub-regions.
[0072] Furthermore, the expression for the number of the first sub-regions in the horizontal direction is:
[0073] in, The first subregion is the number of regions, and [] represents the floor function. This is the maximum horizontal safe distance.
[0074] Based on the first altitude of the intermediate approach positioning point, the second altitude of the final approach positioning point, and the maximum vertical safety distance among multiple vertical safety distances, a second number of aircraft that can be accommodated in the vertical direction of the hovering area is determined; this second number is also the number of second sub-regions.
[0075] The expression for the number of second sub-regions in the vertical direction is:
[0076] in, The number of the second sub-regions is [ ], where [ ] represents the floor function. This is the maximum vertical safety distance.
[0077] In other words, the first number of aircraft that can be accommodated in the horizontal direction of the hovering area can be determined based on the radiation diameter and the maximum horizontal safety distance; The second number of aircraft that can be accommodated in the vertical direction of the hovering area can be determined based on the first altitude of the intermediate approach positioning point, the second altitude of the final approach positioning point, and the maximum vertical safety distance. Then, the product of the first quantity and the second quantity (the quantity of the first sub-region and the quantity of the second sub-region) is determined as the total number of aircraft that the hovering area can accommodate.
[0078] In some embodiments, when an aircraft needs to enter the hovering area, the lowest vertical sub-area that is currently unoccupied is selected first: if no aircraft is occupying the lowest vertical sub-area, the aircraft will enter the lowest vertical sub-area first; if the lowest vertical sub-area is occupied, the aircraft will be checked in sequence, including the lowest vertical sub-area, the lowest vertical sub-area, and so on, until the first vacant vertical sub-area is selected. The design of this rule is based on the fact that the lowest vertical sub-areas are closer to the final approach positioning point (MF2) and the takeoff and landing unit, so that when the aircraft transitions from the hovering state to the final approach phase, the vertical adjustment distance is shorter, which can reduce energy consumption and waiting time.
[0079] The aircraft further prioritizes selecting the innermost unoccupied horizontal sub-region: if a vacant vertical sub-region, designated as the bottom layer I, is available, the aircraft will prioritize matching the intersection of the bottom layer I and the inner layer I sub-region; if the inner layer I is already occupied, the aircraft will sequentially check the inner layer II, inner layer III, and so on, until the first vacant horizontal sub-region is selected. This rule is designed because the inner sub-regions are closer to the intermediate approach positioning point (MF1), resulting in a shorter horizontal flight path when the aircraft transitions from hovering to MF1, improving approach efficiency and avoiding traffic flow conflicts caused by outer-layer aircraft intersecting inwards.
[0080] By using the rule of prioritizing the bottom layer vertically and the inner layer horizontally, the orderly arrangement of aircraft within the hovering area can be achieved.
[0081] This application provides a method for constructing an airspace structure for multiple takeoff and landing units. The method includes: acquiring the number of takeoff and landing units, the minimum circular diameter of the horizontal projection of the aircraft corresponding to each takeoff and landing unit, and the attribute data of each aircraft; determining the fan-shaped area corresponding to each takeoff and landing unit based on the number of units, the minimum circular diameter, and the radiation diameter of each aircraft radiating outward from the intermediate approach positioning point to the outside of the terminal area; determining the horizontal and vertical safety distances of each aircraft in the hovering area corresponding to the fan-shaped area based on the attribute data of each aircraft; and determining the number of aircraft that can be accommodated in the horizontal and vertical directions of the hovering area based on the radiation diameter, the first altitude of the intermediate approach positioning point, the second altitude of the final approach positioning point, multiple horizontal safety distances, and multiple vertical safety distances. This application scientifically determines the fan-shaped area by acquiring basic data of the takeoff and landing units and aircraft, effectively isolating traffic flows from multiple takeoff and landing units and avoiding intersection conflicts; calculating the horizontal and vertical safety distances based on aircraft attribute data to ensure safe spacing between hovering aircraft; and determining the accommodating number by combining the radiation diameter, thus quantifying the airspace carrying capacity.
