Abstract
The development in the automation sector and aircraft design has enabled enormous innovations in the urban aviation sector, which includes Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). AAM includes the on-demand air transportation of goods and passengers using the drone between aerodromes within Air Corridors. Air Corridors are an integral part of AAM, a performance-based controlled airspace where drones follow a specific set of protocols. This includes appointing the Skylane, route availability, traffic control, collision avoidance, etc. In this proposal, we propose a novel design for building an Air Corridor with traffic management system. In particular, firstly, we present the Air Corridor design using the multi-beam antenna system with with ability to keep the drone within the Air Corridor. Secondly, we present a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar-based traffic management system that ensures the location of unknown objects between the Air Corridor and avoids collision in the Skylane.
