UAV Airspace Management System Authority Level Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current airspace management systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fail to allocate airspaces efficiently, leading to inadequate flight path proposals and potential inefficiencies in UAV operations.
Innovation Solution
An airspace management system that calculates authority levels for UAVs based on flight purpose, pilot skill, and aircraft performance, and airspace levels based on factors like building density, population, and weather, to determine flyable airspaces and generate appropriate flight paths.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional airspace management systems are used for UAVs, then flight path management can be performed, but airspaces cannot be allocated flexibly and efficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by introducing a multi-level authority system with quantitative thresholds. Different authority levels (first, second, third levels) correspond to different operational permissions and airspace access rights. The system dynamically adjusts airspace allocation based on changing parameters such as UAV performance, pilot skill, flight purpose, and real-time airspace conditions, enabling flexible yet efficient airspace management
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamics by making authority levels and airspace permissions changeable rather than static. Authority levels can be upgraded or downgraded based on UAV performance improvements, pilot skill development, and varying flight purposes. The airspace management system continuously adapts to new conditions, allowing efficient utilization while maintaining safety through dynamic reassignment of operational authorities
2Reliability
If traditional flight path correction based on weather conditions is used, then weather-related safety can be improved, but comprehensive risk management is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the authority system into distinct levels (first, second, third levels), each with specific permissions and restrictions. This segmented approach allows the system to manage complex safety requirements through modular authority assignments rather than a monolithic control structure, making the system both comprehensive and manageable
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements local quality by assigning different authority levels to different UAVs based on their specific characteristics, pilot skills, and flight purposes. Each UAV receives tailored authority permissions appropriate to its capabilities and operational context, enabling precise risk management rather than uniform control, thus improving safety without excessive complexity
3Measurement precision
If authority levels are assigned based on multiple factors (flight purpose, pilot skill, aircraft performance), then appropriate airspace allocation is achieved, but calculation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by establishing clear quantitative thresholds and criteria for assessing different factors (flight purpose, pilot skill, aircraft performance). The system transforms qualitative assessments into quantifiable parameters with defined weightings and thresholds, enabling accurate authority level determination through systematic calculation rather than subjective judgment, thus achieving precision without excessive complexity

AI summary
An airspace is appropriately allocated when the airspace is allocated to an unmanned aerial vehicle. Authority level acquisition means of an airspace management system acquires, for each unmanned aerial vehicle, an authority level of an operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Airspace level acquisition means acquires, for each airspace occupying a fixed range, an airspace level indicating an allowable range of the authority level in the airspace. Determination means determines whether or not the unmanned aerial vehicle can fly in a given airspace based on the authority level and the airspace level.
