Collision Aware Application Specific Path Controller for FANET with Variance Method

The flying ad-hoc networks (FANET) are utilized in the various types of applications, such as weather, military, information retrieval, geographic information systems (GIS), surveillance of disaster hit area, etc. The groups of unmanned aerial vehicles, also called flying nodes or crafts, are used for such applications. The flying nodes or crafts, when take the flight, need to consider multiple factors altogether for the information collection for the targeted applications. The major factors are the path planning, collision avoidance, target coverage and remaining fuel or battery power. The path planning for the target coverage is calculated entirely based upon the remaining power or fuel and target locations. The takeoff and landing positions are taken as the pre-decided data for the topological scenario. The path planning methodology requires the information about the 3-D coordinates of the crafts, which also include the height of the flight as the third dimension. The flying node flight must be arranged in the collision free manner, which requires the number of computations altogether, which computes the current point to target point path by analyzing the remaining power, path length, points of collisions, etc. In this paper, the proposed FANET control system has been designed for the complete control of the crafts during the flights. The points of collisions, takeoff and landing are selected on the basis of multifactor input data after the abundance of the calculation altogether. The proposed model has been tested with many performance parameters and it has performed perfectly well in the terms of time complexity, number of bypass decisions, etc. The proposed model has outperformed the existing models for the collision free routing in the FANETs.
