Validating a novel advanced mapping technology for safe and compliant drone operations

AirMarket公司已与南阿尔伯塔理工学院（SAIT）接洽，以验证其FLY-SAFE技术的空间精度。该软件包旨在通过改变公众和专业无人机用户访问监管和现场评估信息的方式，提高无人机行业的安全性和合规性。该项目最初将侧重于开发用于准确性验证的全面采样策略。接下来，将在加拿大各地选择多个采样点，并使用FLY-SAFE软件测量点的位置。软件提供的坐标将与传统的空中导航图以及适用的NAVCANADA指定空域手册中的信息进行比较。该项目旨在为使用软件测量的点的空间精度满足或超过规定的公差提供信心，并且XY（横向）位置信息可以始终如一地获得比使用现有产品（如小尺度航海图）更高的精度。

The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) has been approached by AirMarket Inc. to validate thespatial accuracy of their FLY-SAFE technology. This software package is aimed at improving safety andcompliance in the drone industry by changing the way regulatory and site assessment information is accessedby the public and professional drone users. The project will initially focus on developing a comprehensivesampling strategy for accuracy validation. Next, multiple sample points will be selected across Canada, andpoint positions will be measured using the FLY-SAFE software. Coordinates provided by the software will becompared with those derived from conventional air navigation charts, as well as information from the NAVCANADA Designated Airspace Handbook, where applicable. The project aims to provide confidence that thespatial accuracy of the points measured using the software meets or exceeds stated tolerances, and that XY(lateral) positional information can consistently be derived to a higher level of accuracy than is possible usingexisting products, such as small-scale navigational charts.
