Overview

Systematic survey identifies core modules in UTM, aiming for standardization across UAV systems.

Key Points

  • This research aims to clarify the current state of Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management (UTM) and propose a unified framework.
  • Conducted a systematic survey of existing UTM research.
  • Reviewed core UTM service modules and categorized them based on objectives.
  • Proposed a four-layer unified UTM framework: Fundamental Infrastructure, Pre-flight UTM, In-flight UTM, UTM Application.
  • Identified substantial incompatibilities among emerging UTM solutions due to lack of common guidelines.
  • Proposed a unified UTM framework that enhances compatibility between different UTM systems.
  • Drew analogies between UTM and established transportation systems to forecast future trends in UTM.
