Air traffic Management Research Institute

The Air traffic Management Research Institute (ATMRI), NTU team focuses on the prediction and management of risk associated with the cooperative and non-cooperative operation of UAS within the Restricted Airport Airspace (5km surrounding the airport as defined by the Civil Aviation Authority Singapore). The studies under this project includes: Monte-Carlo based modeling of non-cooperative UAS collision risk to establish 3D Alert Zone for UAS intrusion management; the development of method to predict position of commercial aircraft and drone, which is used to develop probability density function based on the aircraft and drone position predicted; the creation of CAD model for UAS and aero engines for parametric study of UAS collision simulation.

Objectives of ATMRI at NTU UAS Program

• Safe and Efficient Urban Airspace Management System to provide
  • A construct that allows the CAAS maintains its authority over the urban airspace, while allowing industry and operators to manage operations
  • A flexible and extensible constructor that can adapt and evolve as the trade space changes and matures
  • A safe and stable environment for various operations
• Unmanned Air Traffic Flow Management Ecosystem
  • Facilitate the maturing of the technologies to create a positive platform for UAS operations in urban environments
  • Enable large-scale UAV operations, leveraging commercial services
