3D Aerial Highway: The Key Enabler of the Retail Industry Transformation

The retail industry is facing an inevitable transformation worldwide, which accelerating with the current pandemic situation. Indeed, consumer habits are shifting from brick-and-mortar stores to online shopping. bottleneck in shopping experience remains efficient and fast delivery consumers. In this context, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology seen as a potential solution address cargo issues. Hence, number of UAVs expected increase next few decades airspace become crowded. To successfully deploy for mass delivery, seamless reliable cellular connectivity required. Thus, organized “connected” routes sky needed. Like highways vehicles, 3D should be designed fulfill UAV operations safely efficiently. We refer these “3D highways.” article, we investigate feasibility paradigm. First, discuss related motivations concerns. Then present our paradigm design. Finally, linked issues solutions.
