    RESEARCHERS at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have embarked on a four-year programme to develop a traffic management system for drones to ensure the safe usage of Singapore's airspace.

    The programme, which began in August, will focus on areas such as smart and safe routing, detect-and-avoid systems, and traffic management to coordinate air traffic.
