  • 3.0 the Autonomous Transportation System (ATS)
    3.0 The Autonomous Transportation System (ATS) Concept The world is on the cusp of a completely new mode of transportation using electric powered, networked, fully autonomous vehicles. A new Autonomous Transportation System (ATS) is needed to facilitate this transformation within the U.S., to include standards for the development, manufacture and operation of autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AVs) and Ground Vehicles (GVs). This document proposes strategic-level standards for the ATS and for autonomous AVs and GVs, to enable safe, secure, reliable and swift transport of cargo and human passengers. Further, it proposes standards to safely incorporate traditional manually operated ground vehicles, pilot-controlled aircraft, and smalls drones into the system – initially and perpetually. Topics, features, and design solutions presented in this document are the proposed strategic- level standards. The proposed new ATS includes the people, facilities, and hardware/software (HW/SW) required to manage, operate, and monitor all GVs operating on the ground, and all AVs operating within the authorized public airspace. The standards will ensure cargo, passengers, and people and property on the ground are kept safe, now and into the future. OVER’s vision and intention is that this proposed ATS be discussed and revised as necessary by transportation and aerospace industry experts, government experts (DOT, FAA, etc.), and the American public. Once revised, it can provide a baseline for final standards to govern the design, production, integration and operation of large, fully autonomous GVs traversing public roads and AVs flying within the public airspace. The final ATS will ensure that all autonomous GVs/AVs are safe, secure, reliable and fully compatible with the HW, SW, networking and communication requirements, regardless of manufacturer, or will not be allowed to operate.

Comparative economic efficiency of PAVs is measured to compare each PAV. Specification and sales price of the PAVs are open to the public. BlackFly, Transition and Aeromobil 3.0 have competitive power in flying range, purchasing cost, and operational cost. Lift & cruise configuration and vectored thrust con- figuration PAVs are designed by many companies nowadays, and BlackFly which can be considered to be lift & cruise configuration is one of the most efficient PAVs. High battery price does not help multi-copter shaped PAVs to have economic efficiency. Aerodynamic wing, eVTOL, and low sale price are needed for PAVs to ride a wave of public interest as a new personal mobility. Under the conditions, the PAV can fly at downtown and can be purchased by people at large. Popularization of PAV could follow in the 100 years old footsteps of automobile.

Air transportation is defined broadly, with both manned and un- manned operations within its scope, and both civilian and military operations. The primary emphasis was on the potential for on-demand air-taxi operations with vertiport-capable configurations and design. However the initiative also includes, with equal emphasis, the capability for commercial package delivery, and the delivery of strategic military assets.
