Parallel Deconfliction Processing Of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

View page
US Patent:
20220351627, Nov 3, 2022
Filed:
Sep 2, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/009926
Inventors:
- AUSTIN TX, US
LOWELL L. DUKE - AUSTIN TX, US
ZEHRA AKBAR - LEANDER TX, US
SYED MOHAMMAD AMIR HUSAIN - GEORGETOWN TX, US
International Classification:
G08G 5/00
G08G 5/04
Abstract:
In a particular embodiment, parallel deconfliction processing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is disclosed that includes a UAV control system partitioning the airspace over a geographic region into a plurality of airspace regions. In this example embodiment, the UAV control system includes a plurality of deconfliction controllers. For each deconfliction controller in the plurality of deconfliction controllers, the UAV control system assigns to the deconfliction controller, one or more airspace regions of the plurality of airspace regions. The UAV control system also inputs, in parallel, flight path data for a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to the plurality of deconfliction controllers. This embodiment also includes processing, in parallel by the plurality of deconfliction controllers, the flight path data to identify a flight conflict between two or more UAVs. Each deconfliction controller outputs a deconfliction result for each airspace region.
