    Abstract
    In the not too distant future, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) will be a source of economic power in urban environments. These systems will be used for package delivery, building inspections, filming, and many other tasks. However, economic benefits should not outweigh public safety. These systems must not collide into buildings, and they must maintain a safe separation distance from neighboring systems. In other words, UAS operations should be assessed for safety. This paper assesses how safety requirements in the urban environment influence UAS operations. It presents a novel way of performing this assessment by using the Extensible Trajectory Optimization Library (ETOL) to continuously solve a vehicle guidance problem (VGP) in a multi-agent robot simulator. This paper introduces the common structure of a VGP, along with a VGP formulation for a UAS in an urban environment. In addition, a platform for safety assessments is presented, along with recommendations for improving the safety of UAS operations.

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items. For anonymous users the allowed maximum amount is 50 search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
