Drone Stations-Aided Beyond-Battery-Lifetime Flight Planning for Parcel Delivery

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, 2023
This paper considers using drones to conduct the last-mile parcel delivery. To enable the beyond-battery-lifetime flight, drone stations are considered to replace or recharge the battery for drones.

Robust 4D climate-optimal flight planning in structured airspace using parallelized simulation on GPUs: ROOST V1.0

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2023
. The climate impact of non-CO2 emissions, which are responsible for two-thirds of aviation radiative forcing, highly depends on the atmospheric chemistry and weather conditions. Hence, by planning aircraft trajectories to reroute areas where the non-CO2

Contour Mission Flight Planning of UAV for Photogrammetric in Hillside Areas

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry is an effective method for acquiring terrain information. However, in hillside areas, the terrain is complex, and the altitude varies greatly.

Efficient Drone-Based Rare Plant Monitoring Using a Species Distribution Model and AI-Based Object Detection

open access: yesDrones, 2021
Monitoring rare plant species is used to confirm presence, assess health, and verify population trends. Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are ideal tools for monitoring rare plants because they can efficiently collect data without impacting the plant or ...

A two-time-level model for mission and flight planning of an inhomogeneous fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles

open access: yesComputational optimization and applications, 2023
We consider the mission and flight planning problem for an inhomogeneous fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Therein, the mission planning problem of assigning targets to a fleet of UAVs and the flight planning problem of finding optimal flight ...

PLANNING OF TRAINING AIRCRAFT FLIGHT HOURS

open access: yesCroatian Operational Research Review, 2010
Maintenance of the training aircraft causes downtime of operations and thereby reduces the operational availability, which is crucial for flight planning in a training organisation.

Airspace Geofencing and Flight Planning for Low-Altitude, Urban, Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Airspace geofencing is a key capability for low-altitude Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Traffic Management (UTM). Geofenced airspace volumes can be allocated to safely contain compatible UAS flight operations within a fly-zone (keep-in geofence) and ...

Estimation of the Block Adjustment Error in UAV Photogrammetric Flights in Flat Areas

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
UAV-DAP (unmanned aerial vehicle-digital aerial photogrammetry) has become one of the most widely used geomatics techniques in the last decade due to its low cost and capacity to generate high-density point clouds, thus demonstrating its great potential ...
