Efficient Schedule of Energy-Constrained UAV Using Crowdsourced Buses in Last-Mile Parcel Delivery
summary
Uses wireless chargers mounted on crowdsourced buses and a proposed Energy-Neutral Flight Principle plus a dispatching algorithm to schedule battery-limited UAVs to land, recharge, ride, and resume flight. Evaluated with a DJI Phantom 4 flight model and large open bus trajectory datasets, the bus-assisted approach extends UAV deliverable area 1.11–1.24× at typical speeds and in some scenarios up to 8.39×, while the scheduler increases delivered parcels by about 21% and cuts completion time by 0.61 hours.
