Aviaroad

Aviaroad refers to an air corridor specifically designated for flying vehicles, including flying cars, flying public transport (airbuses and flying taxis), and flying cargo carriers. These corridors are established and maintained by government agencies or licensed private companies, known as Aviaroad Operators, to ensure organized and safe air traffic. This term was first introduced by the BLAUSTEIN Foundation.

Overview

Aviaroads function similarly to ground roads but operate in designated airspaces at specific altitudes. They provide structured pathways for flying vehicles to travel between various points, ensuring efficient and safe aerial navigation.

Functions of Aviaroads

1. Connectivity
   • Aviaroads connect private and public ground parking facilities (garages) for flying vehicles, as well as Flightation – specialized refueling/charging and service stations on skyscraper roofs, and Parcony – parking and mooring spots on balconies of private apartments, offices, and businesses (restaurants, hotels, shops).
2. Designated Altitude
   • These air corridors are located at specified altitudes, and air traffic is permitted strictly within these corridors. Any deviation from the designated air route can lead to potential air crashes.
3. Permitted Actions
   • Within the Aviaroad, drivers can perform actions such as adjusting speed, changing altitude, overtaking other flying vehicles, and making turns, as allowed by air traffic rules and virtual air traffic signs.
4. Navigation and Information System
   • Each flying vehicle is equipped with an Aviacaptain system, a navigation and information system that guides the driver along the specified air route within Aviaroads. Aviacaptain displays air route boundaries, virtual air traffic signs, buildings, and nearby flying vehicles.
   • The built-in collision avoidance system prevents the vehicle from approaching another flying vehicle, a building, or crossing the air route boundary. The Aviacaptain system is continuously synchronized with the Aviatraffic Center to provide up-to-date information.

Operational Coordination

1. Aviarights
   • To use air corridors running through Private Flying Space, the Aviaroad Operator must obtain Aviarights (Private Flying Space Rights) from the owner of the building or territory over which the air corridor passes.
2. Aviatoll
   • The Aviaroad Operator may collect an Aviatoll fee for the use of the air corridor. This payment is essential for maintaining the infrastructure and ensuring its continuous operation.
3. Aviatraffic Center Coordination
   • The use of Aviaroads is coordinated by the Aviatraffic Center, which manages air traffic and ensures safe navigation within the corridors.
4. Safety and Compliance Monitoring
   • The Aviapolice and private licensed companies (Aviadefense) are responsible for enforcing compliance with the rules of using Aviaroads and ensuring the safety of air traffic.

Research by the BLAUSTEIN Foundation

The BLAUSTEIN Foundation is at the forefront of researching all aspects of the implementation of flying vehicles, including:

• Technical Development and Simulations: Innovating and refining technologies through extensive testing and simulations to ensure the safety and efficiency of flying vehicles.
• Legal and Regulatory Frameworks: Establishing comprehensive legal and regulatory frameworks to support the integration of flying vehicles into urban and rural airspaces.
• Commercial Models: Developing sustainable business models for the operation and maintenance of Aviaroads and related infrastructures.
• Medical and Ethical Considerations: Addressing health, safety, and ethical concerns associated with the widespread use of flying vehicles.
• Scenario Planning: Simulating various operational scenarios to identify potential opportunities and risks, ensuring comprehensive preparedness.

Conclusion

Aviaroads are a fundamental component of the infrastructure required for the integration of flying vehicles into modern transportation systems. By providing structured air corridors, Aviaroads ensure the safe and efficient movement of flying vehicles, facilitating the growth of urban air mobility. The term Aviaroad was first introduced by the BLAUSTEIN Foundation, underscoring our commitment to pioneering research and innovation in advanced transportation systems.
