[0002] In the field of modern urban logistics, with the growing demand for e-commerce and fast delivery, drones are gradually being widely used as an emerging mode of transportation. However, despite the advantages of fast and efficient drones, they still face many challenges in actual operation. First, due to the complex urban traffic environment, congestion and frequent intersections in the transportation network, drones are prone to delays on specific routes. In addition, meteorological changes have a direct impact on the flight safety and energy consumption of drones. Bad weather may cause flight cancellations or delays, thereby increasing transportation costs and customer dissatisfaction. In addition, existing drone logistics systems often lack real-time data monitoring and comprehensive evaluation capabilities. In the face of complex urban environments, it is difficult to effectively optimize routes and transportation strategies, which limits their application potential in intelligent distribution.
[0003] The shortcomings of existing technologies are that many existing logistics systems rely on static and preset route planning and lack the ability to respond to real-time traffic and environmental changes. This results in a significant impact on transportation timeliness in the event of traffic congestion or emergencies, and it is often difficult to meet customer needs; and existing technologies usually fail to effectively integrate data from different sources, such as traffic flow, weather conditions, and the status information of the drone itself. This data island phenomenon makes the decision-making process lack comprehensiveness and accuracy, resulting in low transportation efficiency.

[0068] Example:
[0069] See also Figure 1 , the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0070] A method for evaluating the capacity of a low-altitude UAV logistics transport route network, the specific steps include:
[0071] Step 1: Collect traffic flow data at the intersections of the city’s distribution centers and transportation routes; obtain real-time meteorological data in the transportation area, including temperature, rainfall, and wind speed, and collect real-time drone battery power, flight speed, and load data; collect the length of each route for drone logistics transportation, and collect the free flow speed and basic energy consumption of drones during flight;
[0072] In this embodiment, the collection of traffic flow data specifically includes:
[0073] Collect traffic flow at intersections where distribution centers and transportation routes pass , and based on the data provided by the traffic control department, collect the maximum traffic flow at the intersection within a week ; The traffic flow refers to the number of vehicles passing through the intersection per hour;
[0074] The intersections of the distribution center and the transportation route specifically refer to the key nodes where the distribution center and the ground transportation network intersect during the flight of the drone when carrying out logistics transportation;
[0075] Collect meteorological data of the transportation area, specifically: obtain the temperature of the transportation area in real time , rainfall and wind speed , where temperature The unit is degrees Celsius; rainfall The unit is millimeter; wind speed The unit is meters per second;
[0076] Collect the power required for the current task , UAV free flow speed and basic energy consumption The specific logic is: set the parameters and mission requirements of the drone in the flight simulator, simulate the mission execution process, observe and record the battery consumption, and extract the power required to complete the mission from the simulation results. ; Simulate the flight of the drone under different conditions to observe its speed performance without interference, and record the free flow speed based on the simulation results ;Simulate the hovering and flight process of the drone, record the energy consumption data, and extract the basic energy consumption from the simulation results ;
[0077] The specific route length of drone logistics transportation is:
[0078] Use the GPS module on the drone to record each coordinate point of the drone's flight; when the drone takes off and lands, record its starting and ending GPS coordinate points, and use the Haversing formula to calculate the distance between the two points:
[0079] ;
[0080] in, Indicates The length of the route, represents the radius of the Earth, and Respectively The latitude and longitude of the flight start and end of each route, and is the difference in latitude and longitude between two points, The number that represents the route of the UAV logistics transportation. The Haversing formula is designed to calculate the distance between two points on a sphere, so it can accurately take into account the curvature of the earth. In the case of longer distances or large terrain changes, using the distance formula between two points may lead to significant errors, while the Haversing formula provides more accurate measurements. In aviation navigation, the shortest route is along the great circle route. The Haversing formula can accurately calculate the great circle distance, reflecting the shortest path of the actual route, and is suitable for UAV navigation planning.
[0081] This step can obtain multi-dimensional, real-time operating environment data, including traffic flow, weather conditions, and the status information of the drone itself, breaking through the limitations of the previous single data source and forming a more comprehensive and accurate monitoring network, thus providing a solid data foundation for subsequent transportation evaluation. By using sensors to collect traffic flow data, traffic congestion can be identified in real time, thus providing a key reference for the route planning of drones; meteorological data obtained by the meteorological API can promptly reflect the impact of weather changes on flight safety and energy consumption; whether it is the battery power, flight speed or load information of the drone, it can help better evaluate the adaptability and transportation capacity of the drone in a specific environment. This comprehensive data collection not only improves the adaptability to the transportation environment, but also provides an important basis for subsequent model construction and evaluation, thereby significantly improving transportation efficiency and safety.
[0082] Step 2: Generate an estimated delay time coefficient based on route length, free flow speed and traffic flow data; generate a meteorological assessment index by combining temperature, rainfall and wind speed, and generate a flight energy consumption coefficient based on the meteorological assessment index, flight speed and basic energy consumption; generate an adaptability coefficient based on the battery power of the drone, the power required to perform the current mission and the load data;
[0083] In this embodiment, the route is generated based on the route length, free flow speed and traffic flow data. The estimated delay time coefficient is based on the formula:
[0084] ;
[0085] in, For route The estimated delay factor of It is a transport route Length, is the free flow speed of the drone during flight, It is a route traffic flow, It is a route The maximum traffic flow. When it increases, the mileage of drone logistics transportation routes increases, and the estimated delay coefficient Increase; when the route Traffic flow When it increases, it will affect the efficiency of logistics transportation and estimate the delay coefficient Increase; that is, , and the estimated delay factor There is a positive correlation.
[0086] The temperature, rainfall and wind speed are combined to generate a meteorological assessment index The specific logic is:
[0087] The real-time temperature collected Compare with the preset temperature threshold, if it exceeds the threshold, calculate the real-time temperature The absolute value of the difference between the temperature threshold ;
[0088] ;
[0089] in, is the meteorological assessment index, Real-time temperature The absolute value of the difference between the temperature threshold, is the rainfall, is the wind speed, is a constant correction exponent; when When it increases, it means that the temperature in the transport area exceeds the threshold. High or low temperature conditions may cause the flight efficiency of the drone to decrease under specific temperature conditions. Therefore, the meteorological assessment index Increase; when rainfall When it increases, visibility will be reduced, affecting the visual navigation and sensor performance of the drone, increasing the risk during flight, and rainfall may cause the product to become damp and deteriorate. Therefore, the meteorological assessment index Increase; when wind speed When it increases, it will cause airflow instability, thus affecting the flight stability of the drone. Therefore, the meteorological assessment index Increase; that is, , , Meteorological Assessment Index There is a positive correlation.
[0090] The flight energy consumption coefficient is generated according to the meteorological assessment index, the flight speed and the basic energy consumption , the formula is as follows:
[0091] ;
[0092] in, is the flight energy consumption coefficient, is the basic energy consumption, is the meteorological assessment index for the transport area, is its preset proportionality factor, is the flight speed of the drone, is its preset scaling factor, and , greater than zero, is a constant correction index; when the basic energy consumption When it increases, the corresponding flight energy consumption coefficient Increase; when the meteorological assessment index When it increases, it means that the climate environment is getting worse, resulting in the flight energy consumption coefficient Increase; when the flight speed When it increases, the battery will be consumed faster, thus increasing the flight energy consumption coefficient Increase; that is, , , Flight energy consumption coefficient There is a positive correlation.
[0093] Generate fitness coefficient The logic is as follows:
[0094] Combine the drone's battery power, the power required to perform the current mission, and the load data to calculate the adaptability coefficient according to the following formula: :
[0095] ;
[0096] in, is the adaptability coefficient, is the current battery power of the drone, The amount of power required to perform the current task. is the load data, The preset scale factor is greater than zero, is a constant correction index; when the battery power When the speed increases, it directly improves the endurance of the drone, making the drone more flexible in performing multiple tasks, thus increasing the adaptability coefficient. Increase; when the power required to perform the current task When the battery capacity increases, the drone needs to provide more power during flight to complete the task, which means that the drone must have a higher endurance to adapt to the increased power demand. If the battery capacity is insufficient, the task may not be completed, thus reducing the adaptability coefficient. Reduce; when the load Increased weight means that the drone needs to consume more energy to overcome the extra weight during transportation, which will directly affect the drone's endurance and may result in a shorter flight time. If the drone's battery capacity cannot meet the increased energy demand, the drone's adaptability will be limited and it will not be able to complete the scheduled transportation mission, so the adaptability coefficient Reduce; that is, and There is a positive correlation, , and There is a negative correlation.
[0097] Step 3: Combine the estimated delay time coefficient, flight energy consumption coefficient and adaptability coefficient to generate a transportation evaluation model, generate the weights in the transportation evaluation model through the hierarchical analysis method, use the transportation evaluation model to evaluate the current route, and generate the corresponding comprehensive evaluation index;
[0098] In this embodiment, the current route is evaluated using the transportation evaluation model. , generate the corresponding comprehensive evaluation index The process includes: The estimated delay time coefficient , Flight energy consumption coefficient and the adaptability coefficient Combined to generate a transportation assessment model, and the transportation assessment model is used to assess the current route , generate the corresponding comprehensive evaluation coefficient , the formula is as follows:
[0099] ;
[0100] in, For route The comprehensive evaluation index of For route The estimated delay time coefficient, is the flight energy consumption coefficient, is the adaptability coefficient, , and are the weights of adaptability coefficient, estimated delay time coefficient and flight energy consumption coefficient, respectively. is a constant correction index; when the adaptability coefficient When it increases, it means that the drone can better cope with complex transportation environments and mission requirements, and the comprehensive evaluation index Increase; when the route The estimated delay time coefficient When it increases, it means that the transportation time of the drone on this route will be extended, which will directly lead to a decrease in the overall transportation efficiency. Therefore, the comprehensive evaluation index Reduce; when the flight energy consumption coefficient When it increases, it means longer flight time and lower speed of cargo transportation. This will directly affect transportation efficiency and the comprehensive evaluation index. will decrease accordingly; that is, Comprehensive Assessment Index There is a positive correlation, , Comprehensive Assessment Index There is a negative correlation.
[0101] The specific logic of generating weights in the transport assessment model through the analytic hierarchy process is as follows:
[0102] The three indicators of adaptability coefficient, estimated delay time coefficient and flight energy consumption coefficient are marked, and the relative importance between them is determined by the nine-scale method to construct a judgment matrix, in which the adaptability coefficient is marked as 1, the estimated delay time coefficient is marked as 2, and the flight energy consumption coefficient is marked as 3. The constructed judgment matrix is:
[0103] ;
[0104] in, , The mark indicating the indicator, Indicators For indicators The importance of , ;
[0105] Each element in the judgment matrix is normalized, and the specific formula of the normalization process is:
[0106] ;
[0107] in, for Normalized value;
[0108] The weight value of each indicator is calculated based on the value of each element in the judgment matrix after normalization. The specific formula is as follows:
[0109] ;
[0110] in, For indicators The weight value of .
[0111] The weights of the adaptability coefficient, estimated delay time coefficient and flight energy consumption coefficient are calculated based on the following formula:
[0112] ;
[0113] ;
[0114] ;
[0115] in, Represents the normalized adaptability coefficient relative to the index The importance of Indicates the normalized estimated delay time coefficient relative to the index The importance of Indicates the normalized flight energy consumption coefficient relative to the index The importance of.
[0116] Step 4: Compare the comprehensive evaluation index with the preset transport evaluation threshold, and generate an evaluation grade of the current UAV logistics transport route network capacity based on the comparison results. The current UAV logistics transport route network capacity is divided into good, average, and poor grades, and corresponding measures are formulated;
[0117] In this embodiment, the comprehensive evaluation index is compared with the preset transport evaluation threshold, and the evaluation level of the current logistics transport route network capacity of the drone is generated according to the comparison result. The specific logic is as follows:
[0118] when When the current transport route network capacity is poor, the current route network is seriously congested, and the transport efficiency is low, it is necessary to immediately re-evaluate the route network and change the route;
[0119] when When the current transport route network capacity is judged to be average, and the route network is congested to a certain extent, new take-off and landing points can be added to optimize the route;
[0120] when When the current transport route network capacity is judged to be good and the conditions are suitable, logistics transportation will continue along the current route;
[0121] in, is a comprehensive evaluation index. Evaluate thresholds for transport.
[0122] By comparing the comprehensive evaluation index with the preset transport evaluation threshold, a clear evaluation standard can be provided for the performance of drone logistics transportation. This standardized evaluation method makes the evaluation process more objective and transparent, which is convenient for enterprises to manage and make decisions. Through the division of evaluation levels, enterprises can quickly identify potential problems in the current logistics transportation route network. This timely feedback mechanism helps enterprises take measures before the problem expands, thereby reducing operational risks. According to different evaluation levels, enterprises can formulate corresponding improvement measures. For example, for routes with a "poor" grade, optimization and adjustment can be given priority, while for routes with a "good" grade, the status quo can be maintained or fine-tuned. This differentiated management strategy makes resource allocation more reasonable. With quantitative evaluation results, management can make decisions more quickly and formulate optimization strategies. This efficient decision-making process helps to improve the response speed and market adaptability of enterprises.
