ICARUS - Intelligent Communications and Avionics for Robust Unmanned Aerial Systems
La recerca del grup Icarus se centra en l'àmbit dels vehicles aeris no tripulats, també anomenats UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Com el seu nom indica aquests aparells no disposen d'un pilot humà a bord. L'objectiu del grup és investigar tecnologies que permetin desenvolupar UAVs de baix cost amb capacitat per realitzar missions de caràcter civil de forma totalment autònoma per tal que puguin actuar en situacions crítiques, D-cub situations (Dull,Dirty,Dangerous).

An automated airborne support tool for aircraft emergencies: selection of landing sites and 4D diversion trajectories
(2025-01-30)
Article
Open AccessWe present a software prototype (SafeNcy) capable of automatically choosing and ranking landing sites for emergency situations and of generating four-dimensional (4D) trajectories towards these sites. We describe the modules ... -
U-Space social and environmental performance indicators
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-10-01)
Article
Open AccessThe social potential of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) as a greener and faster transportation system in and around urban environments is indisputable. Nevertheless, the success of UAM introduction and its wide use will strongly ... -
The pathway to net-zero emission in aviation – How much can we rely on sustainable aviation fuel?
(Elsevier, 2024-10-03)
Article
Open AccessThe aviation industry is under constant pressure to reduce its environmental footprint and eventually achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In order to accomplish this ambitious but necessary goal, a variety of measures ... -
Tactical departure scheduling for pop-up flights in Kansai International Airport
(Springer, 2024)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe continuous increase of traffic demand has complicated greatly the task of air traffic controllers (ATCs), especially when managing inbound and outbound traffic flows in the vicinity of airports. Handling the flow of ... -
A flight-procedure generation framework based on an RRT* path planning algorithm
(2025-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe introduce a flight-procedure generation framework that relies on the optimal version of the rapidly-exploring random tree (RRT*) algorithm, where nodes are connected using Dubins paths. This framework is employed for ... -
SBNNR: small-size bat-optimized KNN regression
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-11-14)
Article
Open AccessSmall datasets are frequent in some scientific fields. Such datasets are usually created due to the difficulty or cost of producing laboratory and experimental data. On the other hand, researchers are interested in using ... -
Analyzing deep reinforcement learning model decisions with Shapley additive explanations for counter drone operations
(2024-09-10)
Article
Open AccessAs the use of drones continues to increase, their capabilities pose a threat to airspace safety when they are misused. Deploying AI models for intercepting these unwanted drones becomes crucial. However, these AI models, ... -
Development of a multi-fidelity optimisation strategy based on hybrid methods
(Springer, 2024-09-14)
Article
Open AccessA multi-fidelity optimisation strategy has been developed in the present work, and its performance is illustrated through a series of test cases. The strategy is based on hybrid methods such that two genetic optimisation ... -
Considering expected TMA holding into in-flight trajectory optimization
(2024)
Article
Open AccessAircraft crew are aware of the delay they have experienced at departure. However, uncertainties ahead, and in particular holdings at arrival, can have an impact on the final performance of their operations. When optimizing ... -
Decomposition of the airline profit cycles: how do different business models and strategies impact the profit cycle of airlines?
(2023-07-01)
Research report
Open AccessThe goal of the paper is to observe the profit behaviour of the individual airlines and determine how each of them contributes to the total airline profit cycles. In addition, the paper aims to identify the potential causes ... -
