Aviatraffic Center refers to a government agency or a licensed private company that operates a ground control center for flight operations and support for drivers of flying vehicles, such as flying cars, flying public transport (airbuses and flying taxis), and flying cargo carriers. This term was first introduced by the BLAUSTEIN Foundation.
Overview
The Aviatraffic Center plays a crucial role in the coordination and management of air traffic within designated air corridors (Aviaroads) established by Aviaroad Operators. Each center is responsible for a specific section of Aviaroads and continuously exchanges information with other Aviatraffic Centers to ensure seamless and safe air traffic management.
Functions of Aviatraffic Center
- Air Traffic Coordination
- Coordinating flights of flying vehicles along air corridors to ensure safe and efficient air traffic flow.
- Support for Aircraft Drivers
- Providing real-time support to aircraft drivers during flights, takeoffs, landings, moorings, and in critical situations to ensure safety and compliance with air traffic rules.
- Control Takeover
- Taking over control of flying vehicles, including unmanned flying vehicles and those using Brainriding technology, if necessary. This includes enabling or disabling autopilot modes.
- Hazard Warnings
- Warning drivers about potential hazards and obstacles on the air route, such as traffic jams, accidents, adverse weather conditions, and other critical information.
- Information Exchange
- Exchanging real-time information with Aviacaptain, the specialized navigation and information system integrated into each flying vehicle.
- Emergency Services Coordination
- Calling Aviapolice, Aviadefense, and ambulances to the scene of an air accident or in case of air traffic rule violations. This ensures timely intervention and resolution of emergencies.
- Aviarescue Coordination
- Dispatching Aviarescue Vehicles (Flying Vehicle Towing Services) – Flying Tow Trucks to intercept and transport flying vehicles to safe parking locations in case of breakdowns or emergencies.
- Air Corridor Management
- Opening or closing specific air corridors to ensure the safety of air traffic or to prioritize specialized flying vehicles such as Aviapolice, Aviadefense, Aviarescue, and ambulances.
- Virtual Air Traffic Signs Management
- Placing and managing virtual air traffic signs to guide and inform drivers within the air corridors.
- Aviarights Compliance
- Monitoring and ensuring compliance with Aviarights (Private Flying Space Rights) regulations and managing registration of any violations.
- Violation Monitoring
- Recording and addressing violations such as unauthorized entry into air borders, flights along closed air corridors, and operations within no-fly zones.
- Data Collection and Storage
- Collecting and storing detailed information on all flights, takeoffs, landings, moorings, parking activities, incidents, and violations to maintain comprehensive records and enhance air traffic safety.
Collaboration with Safety Agencies
The Aviatraffic Center works closely with Aviapolice and Aviadefense (private licensed companies responsible for air traffic safety) to ensure the safety and security of air traffic and to prevent accidents. This collaboration is essential for maintaining an orderly and secure airspace for all flying vehicles.
Research by the BLAUSTEIN Foundation
The BLAUSTEIN Foundation is at the forefront of researching all aspects related to the implementation and regulation of flying vehicles, including:
- Technical Development and Simulations: Innovating and rigorously testing technologies through extensive 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 commercial models for the operation and maintenance of air traffic control systems and related infrastructures.
- Medical and Ethical Considerations: Addressing health, safety, and ethical issues associated with the widespread use of flying vehicles.
- Scenario Planning: Simulating various operational scenarios to identify potential opportunities and risks, ensuring comprehensive preparedness.
Conclusion
The Aviatraffic Center is a pivotal element in the infrastructure required for the safe and efficient integration of flying vehicles into modern transportation systems. By providing real-time support, managing air corridors, and ensuring compliance with air traffic regulations, the Aviatraffic Center plays a crucial role in the future of urban air mobility. The term Aviatraffic Center was first introduced by the BLAUSTEIN Foundation, highlighting our commitment to pioneering research and innovation in advanced transportation systems.
