Use-specific regulations outlined in the proposed zoning amendments include standards addressing the size, location and screening of the drone staging areas, buffer requirements between staging areas and sensitive land uses and parking and loading requirements.Yet, the city is limited primarily to regulating land use — including location of the hubs and other ground-based facilities. Flight paths, flight altitude, number of flights or packaging contents are all regulated under the Federal Aviation Administration.Main concerns with drone delivery include noise and privacy. However, DroneUp’s COO, Anthony Vittone said the drones aren’t louder than a neighbor’s leaf blower or a delivery truck driving down the street, and while the drones have a camera, it is only used for navigation purposes and to ensure it is safe to maneuver the product to the ground as the drone hovers about 80 feet in the air during delivery.The company’s drones are about 45 pounds and the package weight limit is 10 pounds. Even with that weight limit, about 70% of the products in a Walmart are available for drone delivery, Vittone said.Vittone pointed to the societal benefits of drone delivery including helping to deliver over-the-counter medicine to people who can’t or don’t feel like leaving their homes. The service can also help people with disabilities or mobility challenges, elderly people and more.“We could soon be at a place where you do an online appointment with your doctor, he or she calls in a prescription into your pharmacy, the pharmacy delivers it and over the entire transaction you haven’t left your couch,” Vittone said.Vittone also noted that drone delivery helps with reducing carbon emissions and wear-and-tear on roads.“I believe in about five years it’s going to be completely ubiquitous… We’re probably going to get to a place where eventually people are going to think it’s crazy that we used a 3,00 pound car to deliver a 10 pound package,” he said.The city has also looked into the operations of Amazon Prime Air and Causey Aviation Unmanned and received letters of interest from companies and agencies, including the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) and the Small UAV Coalition.© 2023 The Dallas Morning News.

Why is having higher-density weather measurements so important? Traditional aviation weather systems rely heavily on modeled forecasts rather than direct weather measurements, especially below 5,000 in the atmosphere and just above ground level. While models allow for an estimate of weather conditions, they can mask potential threats and hazards in the lower atmosphere where drone and air taxi flights occur. Additionally, weather models, no matter the scale and resolution, use a model of what we believe the atmosphere looks like to kick off the forecast simulation, with very little real data in the lower atmosphere. The way to improve weather certainty about what is happening requires real data, and that is TruWeather’s focus. TruWeather recommends sensors to customers and partners that will most likely meet the ASTM F38 Weather Standard and, in some cases, will improve not only operator awareness about what is happening along a BVLOS route of flight but also improve short-range forecasts of winds, cloud ceilings, etc.truweathersolutions.com, 4d ago

Significantly, one of those companies is Amazon. The retail giant has recently signaled its intention to expand its Prime Air drone delivery system in Italy and the UK in the coming year, while adding an additional US city to the two communities it currently serves. Central to this expansion is the deployment of the MK30 drone. Billed as a “quieter, smaller, and lighter” drone than previous models, the MK30, the company announced, “can fly twice as far as previous Prime Air drone models,” allowing for an expansion of the company’s fulfillment networks. Also, the MK30 features a delivery system in which “packages are held inside drones during transit to protect their contents,” and it comes with sense and avoid technology, enabling the vehicle to identify and evade obstacles encountered in the delivery area.commercialuavnews.com, 25d ago

...“So suddenly, a rider of choice … this becomes a much more of a viable option,” said Hoffman.Moves to a citywide dynamic microtransit system will make transit a more viable mobility option for the 650 households with no car, and about a third of the households with only one car, suggesting about 30 percent of the population has “the potential need for transit,” said Hoffman.It’s the kind of change that aids in workforce development by realistically getting workers to their jobs, and opens up access to fresh foods and shopping opportunities.“Opening grocery markets, in whatever way possible, basically creates more customers,” said Heather Arnold, senior manager for Economic Development for Physical Stores at Amazon, speaking on the panel. “What if we had better ways to get customers to the store?”Often, said Arnold, the market forces needed to develop a grocery store in many neighborhoods do not exist, given the cost of the development and revenue requirements. So, if cities can find ways to make it easier to get residents to the stores they already have, “food deserts” could be mitigated.“You cannot make a risky move that fails. You just can’t,” said Arnold, remarking on the idea of building a new store, given the narrow profit margins for grocery stores.The new transit system in Winchester goes live this spring. Fares will be free at first, and then transition to about $1 per ride.What riders care about, said Hoffman, is “how quickly can I get to the grocery store?

Robotic mining refers to the use of autonomous or remote-controlled robots to extract minerals or resources from mines. These robots are equipped with sensors, cameras, and tools to navigate the mine, locate and extract resources, and transport them to a designated location. The two main uses of robotics in mining are for drilling and haulage. Drilling rigs can be automated to various extents, while haulage vehicles can be replaced by autonomous trucks or autonomous railways. Minor uses include underground rock cutters and inspection drones. The three common goals of mining companies - safety, productivity, and sustainability - are all supported by robotic deployment. Safety is improved by the removal of humans from hazardous areas. Drilling rigs can be operated and supervised remotely rather than on-site, haulage can be done without human drivers, underground tasks can be done without human presence, and the inspection of high walls or underwater regions can be done by drones, land rovers, and underwater robots.Energy Monitor, 24d ago

OSCE Helps Ukrainian Rescuers and Border Guards to Practice Response to Radiological Threats: “Seventy-five representatives from Ukraine’s State Emergency Service (SESU) and State Border Guard Service had a chance to improve knowledge and practice skills needed to respond to radiation-related emergencies at a series of two three-days training sessions, organized by the OSCE Support Programme for Ukraine (SPU) in Kyiv on 23-28 October 2023. During the training that included a combination of classroom sessions with practical exercises, the participants refreshed their knowledge on identification and ensuring protection against different types of radiation, ways to calculate exposure, as well as principles of radiological reconnaissance and control. The sessions aimed at raising their level of preparedness to deal with radiological emergencies happening as a result of technogenic incidents, terrorist attacks, or military action. ‘Risk of radiation-related emergencies is never zero in a country with nuclear power facilities, but of course for Ukraine now they increased significantly because of the ongoing war. While we hope these risks do not materialize, it is always better for emergency responders to be prepared to any negative developments. And we hope the training we provide will strengthen their ability to do all they can to save people if needed,’ – noted Pierre Baussand, the OSCE Support Programme Manager on this occasion.”...Stimson Center, 4d ago
This presentation presents findings from a qualitative study involving a thematic analysis of the contents of 590 customer-reported complaints and 494 driver-reported incidents, all of which were provided by an accessible taxi brokerage in Toronto, Canada that is under contract to the city’s paratransit service. Our analysis draws upon a critical disability studies perspective informed by phenomenological and critical ableist studies. Findings underscore the temporal experiences of disability while highlighting ableist aspects of accessible taxi services that produce barriers for disabled riders relating to service quality, safety concerns, and inflexible taxi service policies. Findings also consider problematic driver communications, limitations in driver training and disability awareness, and inadequate driver-rider conflict management. We identify several areas where accessible taxi services can be improved. These include flexible policies that better account for the needs of disabled riders, improved communication protocols, and greater engagement with disabled people when developing policies and operational changes. We also present recommendations for a three-pronged disability training program for accessible taxi drivers and other paratransit drivers.School of Cities, 5d ago

The key motivation to develop the system has been to improve safety at the port; since its inception the port has also become aware of the relatively large number of drone operators working and where they are operating. This information has proved particularly valuable for police, port security and customs agencies. It is not just the number of drone operations which has proved surprising but the different types of flight profiles; the port authority acknowledges that not all drones flying at the port will need UTM services.Unmanned airspace, 22d ago

For instance, at the moment, regulations in Japan do not allow fully autonomous vessels to operate without people on board. This regulation by the Government of Japan is an important decision as potential cyber threats, and attacks have yet to be thoroughly evaluated and addressed, as limited information is known about the overall architecture of autonomous ships. In 2022, the UK’s Department for Transport published the Future of transport regulatory consultation: Maritime autonomy and remote operations.Open Access Government, 5d ago
These benefits aren’t limited to commercial real estate. In healthcare, an advanced DAS solution can save precious moments — and potentially lives — by ensuring stable, uninterrupted connectivity if, for example, a surgeon needs to consult a specialist over video during a complex procedure. In sports and entertainment venues, DAS technology can enhance the fan experience by ensuring there’s enough network capacity to do everything from posting selfies to streaming live highlights, even when thousands of other fans are trying to do the same. In airports, a DAS can streamline processes and minimise communication hiccups, enhancing everything from baggage handling and security protocols to the passenger experience of navigating the terminal or waiting for a flight.IT Brief New Zealand, 5d ago
Second, Pakistan has a robust defense industry. It’s crucial to involve the private tech sector to innovate defense products in order to diversify and increase exports.

Noise and privacy are major concerns for residents. DroneUp's COO, Anthony Vittone, addressed these by comparing the drones' noise levels to everyday sounds like leaf blowers and ensuring their cameras are used solely for safe navigation. The drones, weighing about 45 pounds, can carry packages up to 10 pounds – covering approximately 70% of the products available at Walmart.DroneXL.co, 5d ago
The UTM Field Test (UFT) is based on FAA, NASA collaborative work on standards development to enable drones to operate in the same airspace safely. “The biggest objective is ability for multiple drone operations, using different service suppliers, to interoperate. This includes strategically deconflicting from each other, and from airspace constraints in shared airspace,” said Pete Supa. This was enabled by standards allowing UAS service providers to exchange information using the same common data exchange protocol; for example, to ensure there is no conflict before the flight takes place, or if so, operators are able to dynamically replan or reroute flights.Unmanned airspace, 7d ago
