Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drone-based infrastructure, taking into account security-related and legal issues relating to drones. This will allow companies to plan aeronautical maneuvering in urban areas, with due regard to legal and aviation safety, without having a direct line of sight to the drone.
  • the system can be used in particular for applications in the port area, in the city and other ports. The basis for this is the establishment of a complete software value chain (SaaS - Software as a Service), Infrastructure (laaS - Infrastructure as a Service), drones (DaaS - Drone as a Service) and de - ren operation.
  • container ships can be provided with mobile systems on board, which contain all system components and have been completely autonomously integrated with the complete equipment in HHLA containers. They can be accommodated in a container. Such containers are brought in at the top level during the loading of the ships and thus represent the take-off and landing platform for the at least one drone. They open and close automatically when a mission is carried out and serve as the basis as well as self-sufficient energy and charging center for the drones. Communication with the bridge through local communication paths via a remote control and visualization unit and with an operations center is provided by satellite communication. Through an externally mounted antenna (SatNav and Com), which is introduced within the container, both the location and the communication with the control center (locally or locally locally) is continuously possible.
  • StNav and Com an externally mounted antenna
  • One or several containers can be loaded on board, which network with each other. This applies both to a ship and worldwide. This means that every container as well as the control center continuously knows the position, speed and direction of the ships. The same applies to the drones in the local system, who can network each other and perform a mission as a flock.
  • Quadrocopters, industrial drones, wing aircraft, submarine drones are also subsumed to include drift-stable drones (balloons) that have been stabilized on a flexible connection line for a long period of time behind the ship at application-specific heights between e.g. 100 - 500 meters are pulled.
  • the flexible connection enables power supply and communication between drone and base (container) - the boost results from a gas filling of the drone, which thus has a high load capacity and allows a very long mission duration.
  • the drones are equipped with different sensors that enable a comprehensive automatic realization of the applications. These include in particular:
  • drones are used with automatic control (BLOS) to perform specific missions.
  • BLOS automatic control
  • the drones are launched and landed on stationary or mobile base stations / containers, ie during the journey, at the berth or in the countryside in a fixed location without any connection to the means of transport. This shows that takeoff and landing position are not stationary and change.
  • the drone receives therefore the position, speed and direction of the base for the calculation of the necessary duration of flight in relation to the own mission as well as the conditions (wind, battery, distance etc.) for the safe landing.
  • the operations center can store all recorded information centrally and use it for other applications in its own area or offer it to third parties.
  • the types of data are listed as examples in the following application scenarios.
  • the drones stand between the ship's side wall and quay and send their data regarding distance, speed, rotation rates to the ship's control console and the navigation system. This supplements the available data set for controlling the automatic system with several redundant sensor information and increases the security of the process.
  • the drones can digitize the infrastructure of the port area (buildings, cranes, wharf, signage etc.) as well as the passage to the berth in each harbor. so that a complete picture of the port with high resolution is created.
  • the data sets and images of the ports are continuously updated and supplemented, so that the operations center gradually has a worldwide 3-D database of all ports that can be used for further applications (including training measures).
  • the drones While traveling in coastal areas, the drones rise above the ship and allow the identification of obstacles and boats that can not be detected by the radar. This is due to the use of other sensors to identify objects (thermal image / infrared and high-resolution camera) and altitude, so that much earlier an obstacle can be detected and the curvature of the horizon becomes less important.
  • fishing boats (especially in the dark) can be detected early, and attacks by pirates can be detected, which identify and capture people on the boats, potentially preventing deterrents from entering.
  • a man-over-board scenario can also be supported, the person geo-referenced stored and calculated using the observed drift with an extrapolation, the current position to find the person.
  • inspection flights are carried out around the ship in order to detect any damage and shifts in the containers at an early stage - a difference image is derived between the reference image from the port when taking off and the current image and the captain can be warned in good time.
  • the highly accurate position and the change in the position of the measuring sensor can be detected and the flow in the direction and speed derived be used to drift the sensors. It is also possible to deploy depth sensors, which are merely connected to a buoy on the surface and pass on their data to the drone.
  • This data base can be collected as a data pool via the operations center itself or on behalf of third parties, so that a worldwide data cadastre is created, which is available for different applications.
  • the transfer of data can be done in the port as a complete data exchange or, if necessary, in direct upload also online via satellite.
  • Submarine drones can also be used to determine the depths of the fairways in the coastal area and in the harbor area.
  • a separate infrastructure can be integrated on board the ships.
  • flying drones with corresponding sensors can be used for this purpose.
  • the system can have a drone system control center, which is provided as laaS - Infrastructure as a Service.
  • the drones can be provided with DaaS - Drone-as-a-Service as a service for use cases, so that in particular drone flights for various use cases are feasible. Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) flights with drones are particularly suitable as use cases.
  • the system also has at least one centralized and / or decentralized control and evaluation software, which can be provided with SaaS - Software-as-a-Service as an online platform.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment with a ship 1, which has a flying drone 2 and additionally or alternatively a floating drone 3, which is autonomously movable away from the ship 1 and has sensors for detecting features in the environment of the ship 1.
  • the sensor data are wired or preferably wirelessly to a receiver which contains, for example, in one of the charging and Ltdunikations convinced for supplying the drone 2.3 with electrical energy and communication and serving as a provision and launch and landing platform container 4 can, sent and are there for forwarding to an operating center 5 eg via wireless communication using satellite 6 and / or the command center 7 of the ship 1 available.
  • the visibility of the Skipper can be extended beyond the with radar and visually detectable area (line-of.Sight) out and it can also within the field of view with the traditional means unrecognizable obstacles are detected. These include, for example, small vehicles and floating debris in the water, such as lost containers, and shoals.
  • the sensor platform which can be moved autonomously in the vicinity of the ship 1, which is referred to as drone 2, 3, can also support port mowers.
  • the drone 2 can also be stationed at the harbor during a harbor maneuver and accompany a boarding ship 1, the operating center of the drone 2 being ashore at the port operator and not on the ship 1 as in the aforementioned case.
