UAV Pickup and Delivery Model with Data Rate Maximization and No-Fly Zones Avoidance

초록

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly used in logistics, yet the pickup and delivery problem (PDP) remains challenging due to no-fly zones (NFZs) and communication requirements. This paper proposes an improved pickup and delivery model (PDM) that incorporates NFZ constraints and air-to-ground communication to maximize transmission data rate. The PDP is decomposed into path planning and flying sequence planning, solved by a Dijkstra-based algorithm and a genetic algorithm, respectively. Numerical results show improved communication efficiency and energy feasibility.
