Multiple UAVs Routes Planning Based on particle swarm optimization Algorithm

Aiming at solving the problems of unsatisfactory
routes planning that are suboptimal to optimal routes planning
and dissatisfactory real time routes planning and routes planning
of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) cooperation, a cost
function of multiple UAVs routes planning is presented after
modeling the primary factors influencing on multiple UAVs route
planning. Then, Based on particle swarm optimization (PSO)
algorithm, this paper presents the approaches of static threedimensional
routes planning and dynamic three-dimensional
routes planning for multiple UAVs cooperation. The approaches
can also be used to plan a single UAV route. Using these
approaches, an emulator is designed and some experiments are
made, and the results demonstrate that the approaches can
satisfy the requests of the multiple UAVs routes planning.
