As we delve into the complexities of optimizing a UAV delivery system within the outlined constraints, innovative solutions will pave the way for a future where unmanned aerial vehicles seamlessly navigate the skies, delivering goods efficiently and responsibly. The primary challenge is to develop algor...
The collaborative operation model between vehicles and drones was first proposed by Murray et al. [20] in 2015. They introduced the flying sidekick traveling salesman problem (FSTSP), in which both vehicles and drones jointly serve customers. They formulated a 0–1 integer programming model to ...
If dynamic soaring is applied to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) flight, it has great potential to improve flight distance and endurance, which are the core performance of UAVs. Although scientists have studied dynamic soaring from different angles, the applica- tion of UAVs dynamic soaring is ...
2. Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs): UAVs are utilized to build the communication infrastructure between sensing devices and end-users. 3. Dynamic clustering: Clustering is the most important aspect of our study. It is the process used to arrange different sensing devices in groups ...
In recent years, the safety of UAVs has become a focus in the aviation realm, as unmanned aerial vehicles are used for more and more applications [1]. Related accident survey and analysis show that, because of equipment breakdown and ground operator error, unavoidable crashes make up the ...
The low-resolution below 1 meter DOM uses satellite images, the high-resolution above 0.5 meter DOM uses aviation photography images, the low-resolution below 20 meter DEM uses shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM) data, and the high-resolution below 0.5 meter DEM uses lidar data. To ...
Introduction Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electric vehicles (EVs), consumer electronics, communications, and aerospace technologies [1], due to their advantages of high energy density, long cycle life and low self-discharge rate [2]. As safety and reliability critical components, ...
1. Introduction Compared with traditional manned aerial vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be autonomously controlled or remotely controlled, which have the advantages of low requirements on the combat environment and strong battlefield survivability, and they can be used to perform a ...
[13] presented a cyclic simulation approach to generate of the non-stationary loading histories of engineering vehicles based on the Markov chain Monte Carlo method. Wang et al. [14] extrapolated the Rainflow matrix based on a multi-criteria decision-making method with which the proper upcrossing...
