Wireless Communication for Flying Cars
Abstrak
Current ground-based transportation systems are subjected to various challenges, including the high cost of infrastructure development, limited land space, and a growing urban population. Therefore, the automotive and aviation industries are collaborating to develop flying cars, also known as electric, vertical, takeoff, and landing aircrafts (eVTOLs). These eVTOLs will allow for rapid and reliable urban and suburban transportation. Safe operation of eVTOLs will require well-developed wireless communication networks; however, existing communication technologies need enhancement in order to provide services to flying cars. We describe several potential innovations that make communication between eVTOLs and the ground feasible. These innovations include three-dimensional cellular networks on-ground, tethered balloons, high-altitude platforms, and satellites.
