Fundamental Elements of Drone Management Systems in Air Traffic Planning

Drones or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAV – Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or UAS – UnmannedAerial Systems) are vehicles that can fly without the need for a pilot or passengers. Drones can be controlled remotely through radio waves or independently (with a previously determined route). The amount of documented accidents involving the hazardous use of drones has risensignificantly due to the increased usage of drones. To perform and increase the use of drones in air traffic management (ATM), especially in smart city planning, a variety of regulations andmanagement procedures will be implemented. This paper aims to propose management rules or regulations for drones in smart city transportation management and some approaches related to drone management and drone control. To present controlling approaches through the parameters in mathematical modelling for drones, we need a control rule, data gathering from the surroundings (usage of GIS), and a dynamic model of drones, and to present controlling and managing it with the help of a drone-following model based on a dynamic model of drones

A review on environmental impacts from aviation sector in terms of life cycle assessment

WOS: 000581912700005The main objective of this paper is, in terms of LCA (life cycle assessment), to compile and discuss, environmental impacts of aircraft, gas turbine engine and components, and maintenance process and operations in the aviation sector. the study reveals in detail LCA implementations on aircraft and related products and processes and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as LCA's historical development, purpose, scope and method classification. the value of this study lies in the review of LCA studies in the aviation industry to emphasise the importance and feasibility of sustainable development in the aviation industry. This motivation behind the study shows to practitioners and researchers how the LCA approach can be applied in aviation through studies in the literature. Thus, this paper will contribute to scientists, researchers, designers, manufacturers and policymakers on the aviation industry for better understanding the environmental impacts from aviation sector in terms of life cycle assessment.Eskisehir Technical University [20DRP054]; Eskisehir Technical University of TurkeyThe authors are grateful to Eskisehir Technical University for financial support.
