Multi-Uav Collaborative Trajectory Planning Algorithm For Urban Ultra-Low-Altitude Air Transportation Scenario, Jie Cheng, Yuan Zheng, Chenglong Li, Bo Jiang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The rapid development of the drone industry has promoted the opening of low-altitude, forming a wave of ultra-low-altitude air transportation in cities sweeping over the world. However, the existing trajectory planning algorithms do not consider the division method and operating rules of the ultra-low-altitude airspace. They are not suitable for the collaborative trajectory planning of multiple UAVs in the urban ultra-low-altitude air transportation scenario, which may restrict the development of the ultra-low-altitude air transportation industry. This paper explores a multi-UAV collaborative trajectory planning method for urban ultra-low-altitude air transportation scenario based on the airspace flight altitude layer architecture. Specifically, …
