Developed countries have made significant efforts to integrate UAV operations in controlled aerial space due to a rising interest of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for civilian purposes. This study focuses the use of multi-agent architecture to distribute the workload of detecting and solving conflicts between the aircraft and the UAV with no intervention from ground-based facilities. The authors proposed and implemented a simple conflict resolution model, based on multi-agent cooperation and negotiation. The system was tested to evaluate not only its safety but also its efficiency. In all its tests, conflict was successfully avoided, showing that the system meets the minimum safety standards. Midair collision risk was the main unsafe situation evaluated using an aircraft collision model based on air traffic density data.
