Abstract
Flying lane management systems and methods for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) include, in an air traffic control system configured to manage UAV flight in a geographic region, communicating to one or more UAVs over one or more wireless networks, wherein a plurality of flying lanes are defined and standardized in the geographic region each based on a specific purpose; determining an associated flying lane of the plurality of flying lanes for each of the one or more UAVs; communicating the associated flying lane to the one or more UAVs over the one or more wireless networks; receiving feedback from the one or more UAVs via the one or more wireless networks during flight in the associated flying lane; and providing a new instruction to the one or more UAVs based on the feedback.
