U-space/UTM operations are considered an integral part of the future development of cities, with applications ranging from package delivery to urban air mobility. However, this new complex environment also poses challenges for the conflict detection and resolution (CD&R) process, especially if aircraft will have to navigate above the existing street network due to privacy and obstacle constraints. The research at hand aims to investigate how information about the environment and other aircraft can be used to improve the performance of CD&R methods in constrained urban airspace. For this, three algorithms are developed and tested, each with different levels of information availability: the first solely uses current state information for conflict solving, the second includes additional information about the urban environment within the CD&R process, and the last also incorporates trajectory intent data to solve conflicts. These methods are tested within simulations of urban air traffic scenarios at various demand and wind levels to determine their safety and efficiency performance. Results show the use of street geometry information benefits the resolution process greatly, increasing the safety level while minimally affecting efficiency. Intent information is shown to not be critical for achieving this.
