PopulationDensityData

Incubating API Repository to evolve and maintain the definitions and documentation of PopulationDensityData Service API(s) within the Sub Project Population Density Data

• API Repository wiki page

Scope

• Service APIs for “Population Density Data” (see APIBacklog.md)
• It provides the API consumer with the ability to:
  • The service enables developers with the capability to get dynamic population density data in a specific area for a specified date&time, considering anonymized information of the network connected devices in the requested area at the flight time.
    • Use Case (1): Providing BVLOS flight the data to meet SORA 2.5 requirements in terms of intrinsic Ground Risk Class (iGRC).
    • Use Case (2): Providing data to identify if the ground risk class for a given drone flight is acceptable for the time of the flight, or an alternative time should be considered to lower the risk.
  • Service Inputs: Area of the interest. Date & time range.
  • Service Outputs: maximum, average and minimum population density value for the given area, and interval corresponding to the valid range of that value. (space and time maps).
  • NOTE: The scope of these APIs should be limited (at least at a first stage) to 4G and 5G.
• Describe, develop, document and test the APIs (with 1-2 Telcos)
• Started: December 2023
• Incubating stage since: June 2025
