Route Planning for Relay Uav
نویسندگان
چکیده
To expand the operative area for surveillance UAV, we propose the use of a relay UAV. The relay UAV is used as an intermediary node in a communication network: the surveillance UAV transmits data to the relay UAV, which sends it back to a ground station. In this exploratory report, we calculate the route for a relay UAV, to ensure communication at certain time points, given the route of the surveillance UAV. The results presented here are preliminary and may be considered a first iteration of ideas and methods.

متن کاملUse of cubic Bézier curves for route planning
We consider the use of cubic Bézier curves for planning UAV routes. The proposed approach allows the user to trade off the length of the solution route with the level of risk/hazard exposure encountered. Exhaustive search is used to place control points on a 2D grid superimposed on the environment. High quality routes are generated using relatively course grids. Comparison is made with the grap...
