The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Routing and Trajectory Optimisation Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly popular over the past few years. The complexity of routing UAVs has not been fully investigated in the literature. In this survey, we aim to review recent contributions in UAV trajectory optimisation, UAV routing and contributions addressing these two problems simultaneously. A unified framework is introduced to describe UAV routing and trajectory optimisation problems. We conclude with the identification of future research opportunities.

Unmanned aerial vehicle field sampling and antenna pattern reconstruction using Bayesian compressed sensing
Antenna 3D pattern measurement can be a tedious and time consuming task even for antennas with manageable sizes inside anechoic chambers. Performing onsite measurements by scanning the whole 4π [sr] solid angle around the antenna under test (AUT) is more complicated. In this paper, with the aim of minimum duration of flight, a test scenario using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. A pr...
متن کاملAdaptive Trajectory Planning for a Quad-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
This work proposes an adaptive trajectory planning approach for a single quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The objective is to drive the system from an initial position to a final one without hitting actuator constraints while minimizing the total time of the mission. The approach employs differential flatness to represent the control inputs to be applied in function of the desired traj...

During recent years there has been growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the necessity to control and navigate these vehicles has attracted much attention from researchers in this field. This is mostly due to the fact that the interactions between turbulent airflows apply complex aerodynamic forces to the system. Since the dynamics of a quadrotor are non-linear and the ...
متن کاملA Two-Echelon Cooperated Routing Problem for a Ground Vehicle and Its Carried Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
In this paper, a two-echelon cooperated routing problem for the ground vehicle (GV) and its carried unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is investigated, where the GV travels on the road network and its UAV travels in areas beyond the road to visit a number of targets unreached by the GV. In contrast to the classical two-echelon routing problem, the UAV has to launch and land on the GV frequently to c...
متن کاملA Trajectory-Generation Framework for Time-Critical Cooperative Missions
This paper introduces a heuristic planar trajectory-generation framework for multiple vehicles. Desired feasible trajectories are generated using Pythagorean Hodograph Bézier curves that satisfy the dynamic constraints of the vehicles, and guarantee spatial separation between the paths for safe operation. It is shown that the trajectory generation framework can be cast into a constrained optimi...
