UrbanATM

Real-time traffic management for unmanned aircraft systems

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are already being used successfully in many areas: in inspection and surveying, in agriculture and for transporting medical goods. And in a few years, it may be part of our life to order a flying taxi to get to the airport as quickly as possible. But this also means that we can expect increased air traffic density.

The use of an intelligent traffic management system is intended to help control the flow of traffic, detect conflicts in good time and resolve them in advance, all handling traffic densities that exceed what current traffic management systems can handle. This avoids traffic jams, provides more safety, and saves the energy reserves of aircraft.

What is UrbanATM?

UrbanATM is a real-time software component for UTM/U-space systems that uses real-time conflict detection and resolution to ensure that dense traffic does not become unduly bogged down.

In the context of U-space, UrbanATM classifies as U3 Advanced Service “tactical deconfliction”.

What are the benefits of UrbanATM?

With increasingly dense traffic, software helps maintain safe distances between aircraft and keep traffic flowing. Knowledge of nearby flying air traffic is a sine qua non for safe flying beyond line of sight.

UrbanATM supports operators in monitoring their flights. Real-time conflict detection gives the means to create ad-hoc traffic and creates more capacity in the airspace while increasing safety.

Who is UrbanATM for?

UrbanATM is a real-time software component that can be integrated into both UTM/U-space systems and UAS ground stations.

The users are:

  • UTM-/U-space system manufacturers and system providers
  • UAS manufacturers
  • UAS operators
