Abstract:

The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) mission planning consists of task allocation, mission sequence assignment and trajectory planning. These optimization problems are interacted. To achieve the global optimal solution of the UAVs mission planning, these three optimization problems should be fully considered and organized. In this paper, considering the requirements and interactions among the three optimization problems, a double-level planning framework is firstly introduced, and then the whole mission planning problem is decomposed into two parts: the high level task allocation and the low level sequence optimization. The optimization models and methods for each level are subsequently developed and detailed. In the process of task allocation, a simulated-annealing-shooting (SAS) is proposed for overcoming the local-optimal-trap, and the configuration principle of the algorithm parameters are discussed. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed planning framework and the SAS algorithm.

Key words: unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), mission planning, simulated-annealing algorithm, planning framework, optimization algorithm
