Abstract
The project introduces an integrated approach to reducing traffic complexity in dense drone operations by combining adaptive airspace corridor generation with a conflict-free traffic optimisation framework. A bio-inspired algorithm dynamically designs cyclic corridors that connect vertiports while avoiding no-fly zones and maintaining smooth, flyable geometry. Building on this structure, an optimisation method based on Selective Simulated Annealing manages large-scale UAV flows by coordinating layer selection, entry timing, and speed adjustments. This ensures safe separation and efficient throughput even under high traffic density. Tested with realistic scenarios of urban layouts and 10,000 UAVs, the approach achieves full conflict elimination with minimal trajectory adjustments and computation times compatible with real-time UTM applications, supporting future automation of flight-centric drone traffic management.
