Market Design for Drone Traffic Management

Abstract

The rapid development of drone technology is leading to more and more use cases being proposed. In response, regulators are drawing up drone traffic management frameworks. However, to design solutions that are efficient, fair, simple, non-manipulable, and scalable, we need market design and AI expertise. To this end, we introduce the drone traffic management problem as a new research challenge to the market design and AI communities. We present five design desiderata that we have derived from our interviews with stakeholders from the regulatory side as well as from public and private enterprises. Finally, we provide an overview of the solution space to point out possible directions for future research.

Optimization of Medium Voltage Overhead Line Design for PT Algae Marine Life at PT PLN Kariango Customer Service Unit

“…Then create 3 Option options for SUTM designing. After that, analyze the 3 options from a technical and financial point of view, then optimize which of the 3 options is the most feasible for SUTM design (Seuken, Friedrich, & Dierks, 2022). The results of this analysis became the basis for the design to the stage of developing the SUTM plan for PT.…”

Traffic management protocols for advanced air mobility

“…Market-based approaches have been studied for strategic demand management and tactical deconfliction in the aviation context, including airport slot auctions (Ball et al, 2005), slot trading during Ground Delay Programs (Vossen and Ball, 2006), and mobility permits for airspace sector access (Corolli et al, 2014). More recently, there have proposals to consider auctions and other market-based mechanisms for AAM airspace use (Skorup, 2019;Seuken et al, 2021). While auctions have been a controversial topic in conventional aviation, especially in the United States (Grether et al, 1989), the proposed privatization of AAM service providers (Federal Aviation Administration, 2020) could make market-based mechanisms such as auctions feasible ways of allocating and pricing airspace resources.…”
