Airspace management in urban areas
In future, traffic management in cities will not only focus on the roads but will also include the third dimension – airspace. New transport system entrants such as drones or air taxis must be integrated into the mobility concept and controlled accordingly. In the City-ATM (Air Traffic Management) project, DLR is testing concepts for airspace management and traffic control in urban areas using a hexacopter specially equipped for this purpose. In addition, the researchers are developing operating concepts for pilotless aerial vehicles and defining requirements and boundary conditions for safe operations in civilian airspace.
