STP: An Aerial Spray Treatment Planning System

نویسنده

  • W. D. Potter
چکیده

The Spray Treatment Planner is an intelligent decision support system for productivity and efficiency evaluation in an aerial spray treatment project. It can be used as a tool to plan the schedule for spraying pesticides aerially. STP schedules the spraying operation of selected blocks from selected airports using single or multiple aircraft(s). The scheduling is done to maximize the spray efficiency and spray productivity while minimizing the total time and distance flown. It uses heuristics to obtain a near optimal solution. Aerial spray applicators can use STP to estimate total time required for a treatment operation. Forest managers can use STP to determine an efficient and productive treatment plan.

Safe and Resilient Multi-vehicle Trajectory Planning Under Adversarial Intruder

Provably safe and scalable multi-vehicle trajectory planning is an important and urgent problem. Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability is an ideal tool for analyzing such safetycritical systems and has been successfully applied to several smallscale problems. However, a direct application of HJ reachability to multi-vehicle trajectory planning is often intractable due to the “curse of dimensionalit...

Optimizing an Aerial Spray for Mosquito Control1

The role of proper flight line positioning was demonstrated to be critical for maximizing product efficacy when spraying in crosswinds by small-droplet spray strategies. Characterization studies indicated clearly that aircraft height, small drop emission distribution, and the ambient winds combine to dilute the spray cloud before impacting surface targets. A S-fold increase in mortality was ach...

Effects of Formulated Glyphosate and Adjuvant Tank Mixes on Atomization from Aerial Application Flat Fan Nozzles

This study was designed to determine if the present USDAARS spray-nozzle models, which were based on spray solutions of water plus non-ionic surfactant, could be used to estimate spray droplet-size data for different spray formulations through use of experimentally determined correction factors. Twelve spray-solution treatments were evaluated, ten of which contained a formulated glyphosate prod...
