Abstract

With the growth of UAV traffic in future, increasing congestion is expected in low-altitude airspace and should be addressed by modern UTM systems. This surge in the density of UAVs poses a significant challenge in regulating UAV traffic effectively to prevent potential collisions. This work addresses the problem of UAV conflicts in the shared airspace, namely intersection volume specific to the multilane UAV corridors. The intersection volume is modeled as a �dronecage� structure containing horizontal and vertical geofenced corridors. This structure connects the corridor lanes through the geofenced corridors geofences inside the dronecage to effectively direct UAV motion while maintaining a safe distance. An approach vector-based guidance logic is proposed that allows UAVs to move along a direction vector pointed towards the exit lane of the UAV and also avoid conflicts with other UAVs at the intercross with the help of an action set. We define conflict cases and present an analysis of the terminal conditions and a time delay analysis. © 2024 by Samiksha Rajkumar Nagrare, Debasish Ghose
