چکیده
High-tech giants and start-ups are investing in drone technologies to provide urban air delivery service, which is expected solve the last-mile problem mitigate road traffic congestion. However, service will not scale up without proper management for drones dense environment. Currently, a range of Concepts Operations (ConOps) unmanned aircraft system (UTM) being proposed evaluated by researchers, operators, regulators. Among these, tube-based (or corridor-based) ConOps has emerged operations some regions world deliveries continue serving certain scenarios that with complex airspace requires centralized control future. Towards ConOps, we develop route network planning method design routes (tubes) environment this paper. In method, propose priority structure decouple problem, NP-hard, into single-path problems. We also introduce novel space cost function enable aligned network. The tested on various compared other state-of-the-art methods. Results show our can generate near-optimal networks significant computational time-savings. • Developed path areas. Proposed prioritization framework multi-path planning. Created routes. Showed faster time state-of-art Demonstrated real-world scenario.

متن کاملA Decision Support System for Urban Journey Planning in Multimodal Public Transit Network
The goal of this paper is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) as a journey planner in complex and large multimodal urban network called Rahyar. Rahyar attempts to identify the most desirable itinerary among all feasible alternatives. The desirability of an itinerary is measured by a disutility function, which is defined as a weighted sum of some criteria. The weight...
متن کاملThe Air-Route Network Design Problem
— This study concerns the air route network design problem and more precisely the route and level flight assignment problem, which has already become a key issue owing to the growth of air traffic. A number of related problems appear in the operations research literature, notably vehicle routing, scheduling and other transportation problems. The problem studied in this paper concerns the genera...
