Abstract

Abstract: With the development of logistics UAV in metropolises, the airspace capacity of urban logistics UAV has attracted great attention. The paper is based on the preliminary survey of the actual operation of urban logistics UAV. It induces the operation model of urban logistics UAV by referring to the acceptable conflict threshold as its capacity estimation. The airspace above the south campus of CAUC is chosen to estimate the logistics UAV airspace capacity. Impact factors have been analyzed with regard to the airspace capacity for flight simulation of logistics UAV. The study shows that the proposed model is applicable to the calculation of airspace capacity, airspace impact factor analysis, and airspace planning for urban logistics UAV.

Key words: urban logistics UAV, airspace capacity, flight simulation, conflict calculation
