When drones fly beyond direct human control, they must plan routes that meet operating and safety criteria.

When drones fly beyond direct human control, they must plan routes that meet operating and safety criteria. For example, a delivery drone needs to make a number of visits within time constraints, while public safety and policing may require repeated surveys of a specific area. Different drones have different capabilities; some can hover, others cannot, while others require more regular charging. Routing drone traffic safely is also challenging: avoiding airspace restrictions, manned aviation and ground hazards, like crowded roads and pedestrian areas. Your goal is to create a cloud-based air traffic control system that registers flight plans, modifies them in response to hazards based on safety data maintained by Altitude Angel, and makes route alterations in real-time to avoid other drones, as well as gatherings of people identified automatically from real-time Cambridge ground data including WiFi network registrations and public transport locations.
