Abstract

Provided herein are systems and methods of managing travel by aerial vehicles on an air roadway system, having: a plurality of roads for travel by the aerial vehicles following routes created by a static route planning model; and a plurality of loop systems designated for entry and exit into areas of interest, having an ascending loop and a descending loop wrapping around each other in a spiral without intersecting, and allowing rotational travel in a vertical direction; wherein the routes are created according to an arrival point and a destination point of a user of an aerial vehicle, and wherein the routes are designed to provide minimal interruptions during travel without intersecting other aerial vehicles on the air roadway system.
