1. RAD Workshop December 2018 Uwe Nitsche CEO – RocketRoute Ltd

2. How do we use the RAD Is the RAD your friend or foe?
Let's look at it from another perspective

3. How we use the RAD Automation is unavoidable Automation requirements
The days where the network was so static that manually created routes could be used over a meaningful period of time are over
Automation requirements
Looking at the development of autonomous vehicles we understand that in a dynamically changing environment a set of meaningful rules are required to keep the vehicle on track and out of harm's way
Every dynamic autonomous system needs a set of guidelines or rules to function predictably and produce the desired outcome
To create useful routes we need to provide guidelines for the systems to follow

4. How we use the RAD Chicken or Egg?
When designing a solution to find routes do you start with the RAD or do you start with governing rules and add the RAD
If we only had unlimited Free Route Airspace without any restrictions we would still need a rule set to find a route
This rule set might contain principles like
Aircraft limitations (minimum/maximum altitudes)
Performance
Loading
Weather

5. How we use the RAD Start with a global solution
When we built RocketRoute we needed a ruleset to control route generation globally.
We developed an internal coding language to define those rules in an efficient way
We use this to manually add and manage rules
We use that same language to encode the RAD
So now we have a merged ruleset where the rules co-exist

6. How we use the RAD Consequences and considerations
We now create our own optimisation rules in the same language and the RAD and the rules co-exist harmoniously
Using the eRAD the whole process of keeping dynamically routing becomes fully automated
This however means that the RAD becomes part of our code and thus needs to be
Correctly and efficiently coded
Non conflicting
Useful to the community
