having a continuous regenerating diesel particulate filter system (3) on the
exhaust passage (2) of an internal combustion engine (1) is constituted by
including collected-quantity estimation means (5A) for estimating the
quantity of collected particulate matter in a filter (3b) of the filter system

Abstract: The invention relates to remote control of an unmanned aerial
vehicle, UAV, (100) from a control station (110) by means of a
wireless command link (115). The UAV (100) may be controlled
in an autonomous mode wherein it flies according to a primary
route (R1, R1') defined by a first set of predefined waypoints
(WP1-WP8, IP). The UAV (100) may also be controlled in a
manual mode wherein it flies according to an alternative primary
route (R1') defined in real-time by control commands received
via the wireless command link (115). Flight control parameters
are monitored in both modes, and in case a major alarm
condition occurs, the UAV (100) is controlled to follow an
emergency route (R2') defined by a second set of predefined
waypoints (HP1-HP7, TP1-TP9, IP). Particularly, a major alarm
condition is activated if an engine failure is detected. Then, the
emergency route (R2') involves flying the UAV (100) to an air
space above a termination waypoint (TP9) on the ground at
which it is estimated that the vehicle's (100) flight may be ended
without injuring any personnel or causing uncontrolled material
damages.
