Location-routing optimization for multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicles in post-earthquake scenarios

Multiple Objectives for UAVs Paths Optimization for a Disaster Area Reconnaissance

A new set of objective functions to maximize the number of detected victims in the earliest stages of the search while minimizing completion time is proposed and a new solution representation is introduced together with problem-specific mutation operators.

3D Geodata Based Optimization of UAV Docking Stations in Mountainous Areas for Emergency Response

Abstract. In recent years, the increasing frequency of natural disasters in remote and rugged areas has underscored the importance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for rapid emergency response. This paper presents a novel approach for optimizing the placement of UAV docking stations in mountainous terrain for emergen...

Collaborative Disaster Rescue Strategy for Multi-UAV Systems Based on GOAPF-MARL and Proactive Replanning

To address multi-UAV task allocation and dynamic obstacle avoidance in post-disaster scenarios, this paper proposes a hierarchical GOAPF-MARL (Goal-Oriented Artificial Potential Field Guided Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning) framework. In the perception layer, a task model is built to couple casualty level and disast...

Priority-Aware Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Route Planning for Forest Fire Monitoring Using Bayesian-Tuned Hybrid Metaheuristics

A priority-aware UAV route-planning framework for forest fire monitoring, with experimental evaluation based on hotspot data from Kalimantan, Indonesia, suggests that the proposed framework provides practical decision-support value for wildfire monitoring and UAV deployment planning.

Integrated Trajectory Planning, MEC Offloading, and Safety Coordination for Multi-UAV Disaster Response

A structured multi-UAV framework that separates mission optimisation into spatial, temporal, and safety layers is presented, indicating that integrating spatial planning, computation control, and safety coordination within a clearly separated layered architecture can provide an effective solution for multi-UAV disaster...
