Cílem projektu je podpořit implementaci Urban Air Mobility (UAM) v České republice navržením způsobů jejího začlenění do systému dopravní obsluhy hlavního města Prahy, a to za podpory konceptu a myšlenek Chytrých měst (Smart Cities), a se zhodnocením očekávaných dopadů. Dílčími cíli projektu jsou: a) vymezit možnost uplatnění UAM v koncepci Smart Cities; b) identifikovat příležitosti v současném dopravním systému hlavního města Prahy a přijatelné principy provozu UAM v rámci prostředí ČR; c) navrhnout dopravní toky UAM a integrovat je do současného dopravního systému; d) vytvořit případovou studii navrhované integrace a e) provést analýzu dopadů zavedení jednotlivých částí UAM.

Verification of the proper functioning of aeronautical ground facilities is one of the fundamental mitigation measures to ensure safety in its use. Aeronautical ground facilities can include both radio navigation aids and lights. At present, aeronautical ground facilities are verified by flights of manned aircraft, so-called aviation laboratories, which have all the equipment on board. At the same time, companies focused on verification using unmanned aircraft systems are beginning to appear. However, they are still highly specialized and their standard operation within the vicinity of airports is not addressed. The idea of the project is to verify whether it is possible to use affordable low-cost technologies for the verification of aeronautical ground facilities, specifically unmanned aircraft systems, which are widely available to anyone, and to integrate their operation into the operation of airports. Thanks to the continuous growth of the technological level of unmanned aircraft systems and increasing the affordability of implemented technologies, it should be possible to use the of-the-shelf unmanned aircraft system, to which only verification devices for a specific purpose will be installed.

Global Navigation Satellite System has become part of our everyday life and our dependence on it has been increasing though various fields including aviation. The GNSS signal transmitted by satellites is being received as a weak signal, therefore it is susceptible to interferences. A several situations of GNSS interference recently occurred in the real operation causing the limitation of using procedures based on satellite navigation. In most cases, the source of the interference is a jammer placed in a lorry which is located on a road or a car park around an airport. Furthermore, there may be intentionally transmitted jamming signals for disabling the position determination of military vehicles in war zones. There is a need to ensure the alternative navigation system for situations of GNSS signal unavailability, as well as to ensure the time synchronization. A several concepts of alternative systems have already been designed, however, none of them was determined the global alternative GNSS backup system. The project concerns with validation of designed concepts from the sight of appropriate solution for needs of the Czech Republic. Moreover, it aims to create an original model for position determination based on position information exchange among aircraft. This model enables solution for position calculation outside line of sight areas of the terrestrial stations within the alternative concepts.

The aim of the project is use of the image recognition for detection and measurement of contrails formed behind aircraft in order to determine the contrail occurrence. The computer vision for contrail detection and contrail parameters measurement will allow to collect and analyze data taken at several locations at the same time. The analysis of camera recordings is currently the slowest part of the data processing. Nowadays, all collected data has to be analysed manually. It means that the video recordings are observed and contrails are measured by a man. Therefore, the amount of data which can be processed is very limited. The project would improve the whole process and increase its capacity. Moreover, it would be the first application of machine learning and computer vision carried out by the Department of Air Transport.
