An embodiment method for controlling operation of an aerial vehicle in an aerial vehicle control system includes approving entry of the aerial vehicle into an aerial vehicle operation zone from a take-off and landing facility of a departure location built into the aerial vehicle control system, controlling an operation of the aerial vehicle in the aerial vehicle operation zone, and approving exit of the aerial vehicle from the aerial vehicle operation zone into a take-off and landing facility of a destination location.

A system and method for a recharging station including an elevated landing pad, a rechargeable component coupled to the elevated landing pad, a power delivery unit configured to deliver power from a power supply unit or power storage unit to the recharging component, and a support component coupled to the bottom of the elevated landing pad.

A lighting device includes: a communication unit that communicates with a vehicle which drives autonomously; a diagnostic unit that performs, via the communication unit, diagnosis as to whether the vehicle is being hacked; and a light emitter that emits illumination light onto at least one of the vehicle, a road on which the vehicle travels, or a parking space in which the vehicle parks.

The location detection unit detects a destination location for delivery of an item by a drone. The release determination unit determines whether the drone transporting the item can release and place the item at the destination. Upon determination that the release and placement is not possible, a standby airspace determination unit determines a standby airspace within which the drone waits. The wait-time determination unit determines a wait-time for the drone in the determined standby airspace. The wait-time determination unit determines a wait-time by which the drone can arrive at a next destination by a scheduled arrival time following departure of the drone departs after standby. The standby instruction unit issues to the drone an instruction related to the standby.

An unmanned aerial vehicle airport, an unmanned aerial vehicle system, a tour inspection system and an unmanned aerial vehicle cruise system. The unmanned aerial vehicle airport comprises a support base, a parking apron, a protective cover and a protective cover opening and closing driving device. The parking apron is installed on the top of the support base; the protective cover covers the top of the apron; the protective cover opening and closing driving device is installed between the support base and the protective cover, and the protective cover opening and closing driving device is configured to cause a bar linkage mechanism to drive the protective cover to switch between an open position and a closed position. The unmanned aerial vehicle airport is provided with the protective cover for the parking apron. If the protective cover is open, the unmanned aerial vehicle is parked on the parking apron, and takes off from the parking apron.
