Claim 11:
12. An air roadway system for use by aerial vehicles, comprising:
a plurality of roads designated for travel by the aerial vehicles following fixed routes created by a static route planning model, wherein the plurality of roads is arranged in a grid, such that a first set of roads is arranged perpendicular to a second set of roads, and wherein each road comprises an upper level allowing travel by the aerial vehicles in a first direction, and a lower level allowing travel in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction; and
a plurality of loop systems designated for entry and exit into areas of interest, comprising an ascending loop and a descending loop, wherein the ascending loop and the descending loop wrap around each other in a spiral without intersecting, such that the ascending loop and the descending loop together form a cone shape, and allow rotational travel in a vertical direction, and wherein the ascending loop and the descending loop each comprise entry points and exit points at a ground level, at least a center level, and a top level, wherein the entry points and exit points of the at least a center level and the top level allow access to the plurality of roads and the entry points and exit points of the ground level allow access to the areas of interest;
wherein turnpikes connect the first set of roads to the second set of roads to allow travel between the first set of roads and the second set of roads; and
wherein turning lanes connect the upper level and the lower level of each road to allow travel between the upper level and the lower level; and
wherein the fixed routes are created according to an arrival point and a destination point of a user of an aerial vehicle, and wherein each one of the individual aerial vehicles follow a received fixed route, wherein the fixed routes are designed to provide minimal interruptions and reduce risk of collisions during travel for each one of the individual aerial vehicles without intersecting other aerial vehicles on the air roadway system.
