RuleMaDrone: A Web-Interface to Visualise Space Usage Rules for Drones

Abstract

RuleMaDrone, an application developed within this thesis, is presented as a solution to communicate the rules and regulations to drone operators. To provide the solution a framework for drone safety was designed which consists of the rules and regulations, the drone properties and the environmental factors. RuleMaDrone is developed with this framework and thus will provide drone operators with an application which they can use to find a safe and legal fly zone. RuleMaDrone uses a natural language based interface to add or edit the rules. Rules proposed via this interface are generated automatically. The web application is flexible, making it possible to use it for other space usage rules as well.
