Autonomous flight drone for infrastructure (transmission line) inspection (2)

Abstract

Our laboratory is developing a “GPS-non-GPS integrated navigation” system for automatic inspection of transmission power lines using drones. However, if the number of flying drones continue to increase, traffic rules must be enforced. Therefore, we formulated UTM rules for collision avoidance. We studied methods for collision avoidance based on three scenarios; namely, front collision, takeoff and landing, and two-way traffic.
