METHOD AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM OF PASSENGER DRONE IN MOUNTAINS Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC G01C23/00 B64C39/02 

FIELD: navigation; computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: this technical solution relates to the field of unmanned navigation in computing, and in particular to systems and methods for navigating passenger drones in mountainous terrain. Method for navigating a passenger drone in mountainous terrain is proposed, in which a map of the mountainous terrain loaded in the memory of at least one passenger drone with a set of sensors is obtained, then, signals are transmitted in real time by means of a set of active RFID tags, including information about their location with reference to the terrain topography, to at least one passenger drone. Signals from active radio tags located at an accessible distance of the receiver of the passenger drone is received by means of the receiver of the passenger drone, the positioning of at least one drone on the basis of a map of mountainous terrain, signals of active RFID tags and data from a set of passenger drone sensors is carried out by means of a data processing device, the signal levels of all radio tags are measured at each point of the digital map, the radio tag closest to the drone receiver is determined, for which the signal levels are measured, and the location of the passenger drone as the average value of the nearest coordinates of the radio tags is determined. After that, at least one route of at least one passenger drone is formed based on the positioning determined in the previous step, and the positioning and routes of the other drones are taken into account.

EFFECT: increased accuracy and speed of navigation of the passenger drone in the mountains.
