Flight Management Apparatus Space Cell Reservation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Flying objects such as drones and flying cars face challenges in maintaining safe distances and avoiding collisions during turns or emergency landings, as existing technologies lack effective methods for real-time space cell reservation and management.
Innovation Solution
A flight management apparatus that receives requests from flying objects to move to specific space cells, determines if those cells are reserved by other objects, and permits or denies movement based on reservation states, ensuring safe distances are maintained through a distributed system and peer-to-peer communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If flying objects make turns or emergency landings during flight, then flight flexibility and safety response are improved, but collision risk and loss of safe distance increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary reservation of space cells along the flight route before the flying object actually enters them. When a turning or emergency landing is requested, the system checks whether the target space cell is already reserved by another flying object. This advance reservation and conflict detection mechanism allows the system to prevent collisions before they occur, enabling safe turns and emergency maneuvers while maintaining separation between multiple flying objects.
2Reliability
If real-time space cell reservation and management is implemented, then collision prevention and safe distance maintenance are improved, but system complexity and computational requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The three-dimensional flight space is segmented into discrete space cells, which simplifies the reservation and management process. Instead of managing continuous space, the system divides it into manageable units (space cells) that can be individually reserved and checked. This segmentation reduces computational complexity by transforming continuous collision avoidance into discrete cell-based reservation checking, making real-time management feasible while maintaining high reliability.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If space cell reservation is checked before movement, then collision risk is reduced, but movement response time and route adjustment speed decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the reservation status of space cells is checked and communicated back to the flying object before movement is permitted. The flight management apparatus receives movement requests, checks reservation status, and provides permission or denial feedback to the flying object. This feedback loop ensures collision prevention while allowing efficient route adjustments, as the system can quickly determine reservation status and provide timely responses to movement requests.

AI summary
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a flight management apparatus capable of improving the safety of flying objects. In one example, a flight management apparatus (10) of the present disclosure includes a determination unit (12) configured to determine whether a specific space cell in a space is already reserved based on a reservation state about the specific space cell, when the flight management apparatus receives a request for permission to move to the specific space cell from a flying object; and a permission unit (13) configured to permit the movement to the specific space cell of the flying object when the determination unit determines the specific space cell is not reserved, and not to permit the movement to the specific space cell of the flying object when the determination unit determines the specific space cell is already reserved.
