Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) detection and geological environmental protection in the remote and unmanned areas of northwest China, based on Beidou high-precision services

Project Background and Significance:

In recent years, the Ebo Liang yadan Tourist Area in Lenghu, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province has gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts and self-driving enthusiasts from all over the country. These visitors have explored certain areas of this vast land and discovered many beautiful landscapes. However, this grand and spectacular landscape, formed through long-term wind erosion, has a daunting name - "Devil's City." Devil's City is constantly buffeted by strong winds throughout the year, with wind speeds reaching 10-12 on the Beaufort scale. The powerful northwest wind has shaped unique and maze-like formations of rock mountains. Furthermore, the magnetic field in this area is disrupted, making compasses unusable.

Visitors to EboLiang yadan often encounter extreme weather conditions, such as getting disoriented, signal interruptions, and GPS malfunction. It is common for self-driving vehicles to deviate from planned routes and attempt unauthorized crossings, leading to situations where vehicles get stuck or visitors lose their way. Due to the lack of signal and positioning devices in the remote area, when self-driving tourists require rescue due to deviating from planned routes, their exact location cannot be accurately determined, resulting in difficulties and delays in rescue efforts. If they further encounter extreme weather conditions, it poses a significant threat to the safety of self-driving tourists.

EboLiang yadan was once a vast ocean hundreds of millions of years ago. Through the combined forces of geology and climate, it has transformed into a desolate desert with rugged and peculiar rocks. The power of nature is immense. Unfortunately, the unregulated self-driving activities of tourists have caused irreversible damage to the landforms, which may take millions of years to recover.

To ensure the personal safety of tourists and protect the precious geological landscapes of the EboLiangyadan in Lenghu, we plan to implement the project "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Detection and Geological Environmental Protection in the Remote and Unmanned Areas of Northwest China, based on Beidou high-precision services." We aim to develop a smart tourism project that incorporates functions such as "Beidou high-precision positioning, high-precision electronic maps, electronic tour guides, electronic rescue, sports experiences, and study tours." Our goal is to promote the coordinated development of geological environmental protection in Lenghu EboLiang yadan and immersive smart tourism experiences.

Project Objectives:

1. Build a platform for exchange and collaboration between Chinese and Russian students, especially those pursuing degrees, to facilitate communication and knowledge sharing.

2. Utilize unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for data collection, mapping, and modeling, and conduct technical validation to provide geological and environmental protection solutions for local industrial parks in the remote areas.

3. Plan and develop immersive smart tourism experiences, integrating technology and cultural elements, to enhance the tourism industry and promote sustainable development.

4. Work towards implementing the project and provide ongoing assistance to ensure its successful execution in the local area.
