The overall purpose of this project is to inform rulemaking and standards development regarding potential Right of Way (RoW) concepts for manned and unmanned aircraft in the low altitude environment. 

There are various RoW standards, which apply to specific types of UAS. However, there is ambiguity for other UAS and rules have yet to be developed for interactions between two unmanned aircraft or for UAS swarms. RoW rules impact UAS Detect and Avoid (DAA) requirements and the development of industry standards. This research project explores RoW for diverse UAS operations and make safety-based recommendations for consideration by FAA and UAS standards bodies. Our collaborators in this project are University of North Dakota and University of Kansas.
