UAV No-Entry Area Avoidance With On-Demand Position Reporting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) face challenges in efficiently avoiding restricted areas, leading to continuous battery usage and increased workload for Unmanned Aerial System Traffic Management (UTM), as they need to send live positioning information constantly to avoid restricted zones.
Innovation Solution
A system where a UAV transmits a request for type information about adjacent areas to determine if they are allowed to enter, and only sends real-time position information when entering a no-entry area, reducing unnecessary transmissions and conserving battery life while decreasing UTM workload.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If UAV sends live positioning information constantly to avoid restricted areas, then safety and compliance are improved, but battery consumption increases and operational duration decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by having the UAV query area type information in advance before entering restricted zones. The UAV obtains and stores geographic area information including no-entry areas beforehand, so it can make autonomous decisions without continuous real-time reporting, thus extending operational duration while maintaining safety compliance.
2Reliability
If UAV sends live positioning information constantly to avoid restricted areas, then safety and compliance are improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:

3Reliability
If UAV sends live positioning information constantly to avoid restricted areas, then safety and compliance are improved, but UTM workload increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the area type information (including no-entry area definitions) from the UTM server and stores it locally in the UAV. This extraction allows the UAV to autonomously determine whether to enter restricted areas without continuous UTM intervention, significantly reducing UTM workload while maintaining safety and compliance monitoring capabilities.
4Use of energy by moving object
If UAV queries area type information in advance and only reports when entering no-entry areas, then energy consumption is reduced, but real-time monitoring capability may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by requiring the UAV to immediately report its position and status to the UTM server when it detects entry into a no-entry area. This feedback mechanism ensures real-time monitoring capability is maintained for critical safety events, while energy consumption is reduced during normal operations outside restricted zones.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, device, apparatus and computer readable medium for avoiding entering no-entry areas. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a first device transmits a request to a second device for querying type information regarding a set of areas. The set of areas are adjacent to an area which the first device currently locates. The second device transmits the type information to the first device. The first device determines whether to transmit its real-time position information based on the type information. In this way, it can reduce workload and save power.
