Project Title

3D Visualization of Congestion-Aware Path Planning for Drone Delivery

Project Description

Drones are a new type of IoT devices that offer cost-effective and fast delivery services. The potential utilization of drones is limited by payload capacity and battery consumption constraints. Drones may need multiple times of recharge for persistent delivery operation. The drone delivery environment is highly constrained because the availability of recharging stations is not guaranteed. The drones usually operate in a skyway network which is constructed by linking the skyway segments. Each skyway segment connects two nodes which are the rooftops of the high-rise buildings. Each node may serve as a recharging station or a delivery target. This project aims at designing and implementing an interactive 3D visualization of congestion-aware path planning for drone deliveries.
