A technique for building a modified entry trajectory profile for an aircraft to join a holding pattern at an entry waypoint despite the airspace available to build the entry trajectory being limited. In one aspect, instructions are received for an aircraft to join a holding pattern at an entry waypoint according to an entry trajectory profile. An airspace around the holding pattern is divided into sectors using the entry waypoint as a reference point. A discontinuity in the entry trajectory profile can be identified. In response to identifying the discontinuity in the entry trajectory profile, a modified entry trajectory profile can be built by i) determining the sector from which the aircraft would approach the entry waypoint with a current track angle of the aircraft moved to intersect the entry waypoint and with the aircraft pointing at the entry waypoint; and ii) generating the modified entry trajectory profile.

A method includes obtaining, at a device, source and destination data for one or more upcoming flights through a particular airspace. The method also includes obtaining, at the device, a map of societal impact hotspots associated with traffic through the particular airspace, and generating, based on the map of societal impact hotspots, a set of trajectories for the one or more upcoming flights through the particular airspace.

A system and method for integrity monitoring acquire one or more boundaries, each boundary of the one or more boundaries based on at least one fallback action of one or more fallback actions. The system and method receive situational data comprising at least one of environmental data or autonomous vehicle data. The system and method generate, using a monitor module configured to monitor an autonomous vehicle, one or more boundary violation determinations. The system and method generate a fallback status based on at least the one or more boundary violation determinations. The fallback status being configured to correspond to a determination of whether to override a primary control output.

A system and a method are disclosed for a vehicle control and interface system configured to facilitate control of different vehicles through universal mechanisms. The vehicle control and interface system can be integrated with different types of vehicles (e.g., rotorcraft, fixed-wing aircraft, motor vehicles, watercraft, etc.) in order to facilitate operation of the different vehicles using universal vehicle control inputs. In particular, the vehicle control and interface system converts universal vehicle control inputs describing a requested trajectory of a vehicle received from one or more universal vehicle control interfaces into commands for specific actuators of the vehicle configured to adjust a current trajectory of the vehicle to the requested trajectory. In order to convert the universal vehicle control inputs to actuator commands the vehicle control and interface system processes the universal vehicle control inputs using a universal vehicle control router.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities for application layer support for no-transmit zone (NTZ) enforcement. An example a network node may be used for supporting NTZ enforcement. The network node may determine a cell in which NTZ enforcement applies, and coordinates of an NTZ area, wherein the cell is associated with the NTZ area. The network node may determine an NTZ policy, where in the NTZ policy is associated with the NTZ area. The network node may send, to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), NTZ configuration information that indicates the cell in which NTZ enforcement applies, the coordinates of the NTZ area, a transition area, the NTZ area, and one or more parameters associated with the NTZ enforcement. The network node may receive, from the WTRU, a notification that indicates that the WTRU is out of the NTZ area.
