Abstract

Norms establish safety standards and operational guidelines that ensure drones operate in a manner that minimizes risks to people and properties and with respect of privacy protection guidelines based on defined legislation. Today, the widespread use of drones in smart cities applications and in the urban environment requires the establishment of adaptive norms to address various operational, safety, and regulatory challenges. In this paper we suggest a runtime norms regulation framework for drones. The objective of this framework is (i) To design a system where different organizations have different access norms using a cloud of norms. (ii) To keep drones informed about the state of the norms they are interested in during their mission (iii) To allow the update of norms tolerance based on emergency situations.
