This paper presents a software architecture for Unmanned aerial system Traffic Management (UTM). The work is framed within the U-space ecosystem, which is the European initiative for UTM in the civil airspace. We propose a system that focuses on providing the required services for automated decision-making during real-time threat management and conflict resolution, which is the main gap in current UTM solutions. Nonetheless, our software architecture follows an open-source design that is modular and flexible enough to accommodate additional U-space services in future developments. In its current implementation, our UTM solution is capable of tracking the aerial operations and monitoring the airspace in real time, in order to perform in-flight emergency management and tactical deconfliction. We show experimental results in order to demonstrate the UTM system working in a realistic simulation setup. For that, we performed our tests with the UTM system and the operators of the aerial aircraft located at remote locations with the consequent communication issues, and we showcased that the system was capable of managing in real time the conflicting events in two different use cases.

“…The past few years and have shown a growth in interest in UTM and UTM-related topics from the research communities which is evident through the increased number of publications as explained in [127]. While initially, the models and approaches presented in scientific literature only focused on specific domains, the recent years have witnessed an increase in publications following more holistic approaches that account for the benefits and challenges experienced by the different UTM stakeholders.…”

“…While initially, the models and approaches presented in scientific literature only focused on specific domains, the recent years have witnessed an increase in publications following more holistic approaches that account for the benefits and challenges experienced by the different UTM stakeholders. According to [127], one of the first proposals for a UTM construct -"Internet of Drones" [128] -emphasised the importance of such interdisciplinary approaches by combining best practices in air traffic control networks, cellular networks as well as the internet to devising one of the first UTM constructs in scientific literature. Since then we have witnessed a clear interest in such holistic research as seen in [5], [102], [127], [129]- [136] on UTM systems, in addition to domain-specific research on airspace design in [101], [111], [113]- [120], collision avoidance and risk mitigation in [103]- [106], [137]- [146] and communication and cybersecurity in [96]- [100], [147]- [159] as summarised below in Table 2.…”

“…Another example of UTM proposed as well as demonstrated is the Taiwanese UTM [131]. In [127] the authors analyse the Taiwanese UTM concept of operation and according to their work, The Taiwanese UTM relies in its core on the ability to track and monitor UAVs within the airspace. For the demonstration of the UTM -surveillance flight demo -Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) was used.…”

The recent years have seen a rise in the incorporation and integration of new smart connected devices and platforms such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to the ubiquitous network of Internet of Things (IoT). UAVs not only offer new means of delivering value-added IoT services through a wide range of applications ranging from monitoring and surveillance to on-demand last-mile delivery and people transport, but they also promise a pragmatic solution to the limitations of fixed terrestrial IoT infrastructure. Owning to their potential, UAVs are expected to soon be an integral part of our cities, dominating the shared low-altitude airspace. This introduces new research challenges in privacy, security and most notably in the safe management of UAVs operation under high traffic demands. To this end, this work presents a holistic study on the current state-of-the-art of UAVs and low-altitude airspace traffic management. This work additionally explores the technical standardisation landscape and highlights synergies between scientific research and standardisation efforts towards enabling safe UAV operations while taking into consideration additional IoT inherent challenges such as security, data protection and privacy.INDEX TERMS Internet of Things; traffic management; autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles; lowaltitude airspace; security; privacy; technical standardisation

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have recently attracted attention in military areas as well as a wide range of commercial and civilian applications. With UAVs equipped with advanced transmitters and sensors, and with high mobility and flexibility in deployment, they have gained a special place in the field of information technology. Since there are several types of UAVs available, depending on circumstances choosing an appropriate one is essential for proper use of them. In this paper, we review some types of UAVs and a variety of UAV-enabled wireless networks with a focus on optimizing UAV position and flight paths. Since using UAVs is considered as one important complement for future cellular networks like 5G and Beyond 5G networks in disasters we focus on UAV placement optimization in cellular networks and then, we investigate the optimal UAV location for various scenarios and applications, and introduce methods of UAVs placement and trajectory design optimization.
