Agent 3, change your route: possible conversation between a human manager and UAM Air Traffic Management (UATM)

TL;DR

This paper presents a knowledge-based reasoning approach for UAM air traffic management, enabling agents to handle detouring requests through non-monotonic reasoning, aiming to guide real-world traffic system development.

Contribution

It introduces a novel knowledge representation and reasoning framework for agent-based traffic management responding to human detour requests.

Findings

Successful demonstration of reasoning steps for detouring scenarios

Framework verifies all possible connection routes

Potential to guide real traffic management system development

Abstract

This work in progress paper provides an example to show a detouring procedure through knowledge representation and reasoning. When a human manager requests a detouring, this should affect the related agents. Through non-monotonic reasoning process, we verify each step to be proceeded and provide all the successful connections of the reasoning. Following this progress and continuing this idea development, we expect that this simulated scenario can be a guideline to build the traffic management system in real. After a brief introduction including related works, we provide our problem formulation, primary work, discussion, and conclusions.
