Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back MODELING CARGO TRANSPORTATION TASKS IN AN UNMANNED AIR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM A.A. Zakharova, V.P. Kutakhov, R.V. Meshcheryakov, A.G. Podvesovskii, A.L. Smolin The article deals with the problem of modeling cargo transportation tasks in unmanned aerial transportation systems, and proposes a generalized model, combining the set of problems of fi nding the optimal scenario of transportation. The model of formation of the optimal loading plan for the unmanned aerial vehicle is considered, and a method for solving the optimization problem underlying it is proposed. The features of the design and implementation of the software package for modeling the control processes of an unmanned air transportation system, and its application for modeling cargo transportation tasks are considered. The actual directions of research for the development of the proposed approaches and methods are outlined. Keywords: unmanned aerial vehicle system, unmanned aerial vehicle, cargo transportation, unmanned aerial vehicle system control, unmanned aerial vehicle loading, discrete optimization, genetic algorithm, software package.
