Flying vehicle navigation system and flying vehicle navigation method
A flying vehicle navigation system includes a flying vehicle ( 2 ) and a control system ( 4 ) that controls the flight of the flying vehicle. The flying vehicle is configured to be switchable to autonomous driving when the flying vehicle is located in a first takeoff and landing section ( 22 ) set on the ground. After the flying vehicle is switched to autonomous driving, the control system guides the flying vehicle such that the flying vehicle takes off from a first takeoff and landing section, flies in a three-dimensional road as an exclusive track set in the specific region of the air, and lands on a second takeoff and landing section set on the ground. After the flying vehicle is switched to autonomous driving, operations from takeoff from the first takeoff and landing section to landing on the second takeoff and landing section are automatically carried out under control by the control system.
1. A flying car navigation system comprising:
a flying car; and
a control system configured to control a flight of the flying car,
wherein the flying car is configured to:
determine a three-dimensional position of the flying car;
transmit position data showing the three-dimension position of the flying car to the control system; and
transmit destination data showing a destination of the flying car to the control system when the destination is set to the flying car,
wherein the control system is configured to:
select a takeoff section from among a plurality of takeoff and landing sections based on the position data of the flying car and the destination data, the plurality of takeoff and landing sections comprising a takeoff and landing section that includes a part of a car exclusive road fixed on the ground;
select a three-dimensional road that is an exclusive track set in a specific region of the air based on the position data of the flying car and the destination data; and
transmit to the flying car a flight plan that contains the selected takeoff section and the selected three-dimensional road,
wherein the flying car is configured to begin the flight by automatic operation when the flying car is positioned in the takeoff section,
wherein the control system is configured to, in the flight of the flying car, guide the flying car such that the flying car takes off from the takeoff section, flies in the three-dimensional road, and lands on a landing section,
wherein operations of the flying car from the takeoff from the takeoff section to the landing on the landing section are automatically carried out under a control by the control system,
wherein the flying car is configured to display the flight plan on a display device, and
wherein the takeoff section is displayed on a display screen of the display device on which the flight plan is displayed.
2. A flying car navigation method that navigates a flying car, the method comprising:
determining a three-dimensional position of the flying car;
transmitting position data showing the three-dimension position of the flying car to a control system;
transmitting destination data showing a destination of the flying car from the flying car to the control system in response to the destination being set to the flying car,
selecting, by the control system, a takeoff section from among a plurality of takeoff and landing sections based on the position data of the flying car and the destination data, the plurality of takeoff and landing sections comprising a takeoff and landing section that includes a part of a car exclusive road fixed on the ground;
selecting a three-dimensional road that is an exclusive track set in a specific region of the air based on the position data of the flying car and the destination data;
transmitting to the flying car a flight plan that contains the selected takeoff section and the selected three-dimensional road;
displaying the flight plan on a display device of the flying car, wherein the takeoff section is displayed on a display screen of the display device on which the flight plan is displayed;
guiding the flying car such that the flying car takes off from the takeoff section; and
guiding the flying car such that the flying car flies in the three-dimensional road and lands on a landing section, after the flying car takes off from the takeoff section,
wherein operations of the flying car from the takeoff from the first takeoff section to the landing on the landing section are automatically carried out under a control by the control system.
3. A control system that controls a flight of a flying car, comprising:
a flight control processing device configured to:
receive position data showing a three-dimension position of the flying car;
receive destination data showing a destination of the flying car from the flying car;
select a takeoff section from among a plurality of takeoff and landing sections based on the position data of the flying car and the destination data, the plurality of takeoff and landing sections comprising a takeoff and landing section that includes a part of a car exclusive road fixed on the ground;
select a three-dimensional road that is an exclusive track set in a specific region of the air based on the position data of the flying car and the destination data;
transmit to the flying car a flight plan that contains the selected takeoff section and the selected three-dimensional road; and
guide the flying car such that the flying car takes off from the takeoff section, flies in the three-dimensional road, and lands on a landing section,
wherein operations of the flying car from the takeoff from the first takeoff section to the landing on the landing section are automatically carried out under a control by the control system.
