In other instances, well-known structures and processes will not be described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the invention with unnecessary detail. Therefore, the invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed herein.
[0019] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a method and system for planning multi-altitude flight paths of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) guided by low-altitude risk distribution, including: S100: Based on the intrinsic static characteristics and real-time characteristics of the target UAV, obtain the original risk impact range of the target UAV at multiple altitude levels; S200: Obtain a real-time scheduling scheme of a target region for a UAV, and evaluate airspace risk distribution information of the target region in combination with real-time characteristics of a task; S300: Obtain ground function partition information of a target region based on high-precision geographic information data, and correspondingly evaluate ground risk distribution information on a predetermined planar flight path of a target UAV; S400: Based on the airspace risk distribution information, the ground risk distribution information, and the original risk influence range, a joint search is performed on multiple height layers in combination with a path planning algorithm based on a greedy strategy to obtain a multi-height-layer space flight path of the target UAV.
[0020] In step S100 of the embodiment, based on intrinsic static characteristics and real-time characteristics of a task of a target UAV, an original risk influence range of the target UAV on multiple height layers is obtained, including: Flight performance parameters of the target UAV are obtained, and the intrinsic static characteristics are correspondingly extracted, wherein the intrinsic static characteristics include a most unfavorable cruising speed and an aerodynamic stability parameter; A predetermined planar flight path and a task load parameter of the target UAV are obtained, and the task real-time characteristics are output; Based on the intrinsic static characteristics and the task real-time characteristics, a risk influence range model of the target UAV is constructed in combination with a prior physical property model, wherein the risk influence range model takes an elevation parameter of a height layer as a unique variable; The elevation parameter of the multiple height layers is input into the risk influence range model to obtain the original risk influence range of the multiple height layers.
[0021] In the embodiment, the purpose of step S100 is to accurately determine the original risk influence range of the target UAV on different height layers due to events such as crashes and failures, to provide a UAV self-risk benchmark for subsequent airspace risk, ground risk evaluation, and multi-height-layer flight path planning, to avoid risk misjudgments caused by neglecting the differences between UAV performance and tasks, and to ensure the pertinence and accuracy of subsequent risk analysis.
[0022] First, flight performance parameters of the target UAV are obtained, and the intrinsic static characteristics are correspondingly extracted.
[0023] Specifically, flight performance parameters of the target UAV are obtained first, and then the most unfavorable cruising speed and the aerodynamic stability parameter, which are two core intrinsic static characteristics, are extracted.
[0024] The most unfavorable cruising speed is defined as "the maximum speed under the task endurance requirement", and under this speed, if the UAV fails, the initial kinetic energy is larger and the risk influence range is wider.
[0025] The aerodynamic stability parameter can be measured by aerodynamic derivative. When the UAV can automatically restore to the original equilibrium state after being disturbed, it is defined as static stability, at which time the aerodynamic derivative satisfies the static stability criterion, and the aerodynamic derivative is quantified as "1". If the aerodynamic derivative does not satisfy the static stability criterion, a "number greater than 1" is assigned according to the degree of deviation of the aerodynamic derivative from the stability criterion, as the aerodynamic stability parameter. The larger the aerodynamic stability parameter, the worse the stability, the larger the trajectory deviation of the UAV after losing control, and the larger the risk impact range.
[0026] Second step, the predetermined planar route and task load parameters of the target UAV need to be obtained, and the output is the task real-time feature. The predetermined planar route is the planar position of the flight path, and the task load parameters include load weight and type, which affect the inertia and impact force of the UAV in falling. The two kinds of data are integrated into the task real-time feature.
[0027] Third step, the risk impact range model of the target UAV needs to be constructed based on the intrinsic static feature and the task real-time feature, combined with the prior physical model, wherein the risk impact range model takes the elevation parameter of the height layer as the only variable.
[0028] The prior physical model mainly includes two core sub-models: free fall model and aerodynamics model.
[0029] The free fall model is based on the balance principle of gravity and air resistance in classical mechanics. After the UAV fails, it enters a powerless falling state. By inputting the UAV weight, shape size (affecting the aerodynamic stability parameter), initial falling speed (i.e. the most unfavorable cruising speed), etc., the falling time, vertical acceleration and final pre-landing motion trajectory range of the UAV from different height layers are calculated, which is the basic framework model of the risk impact range.
[0030] The aerodynamics model further refines the influence of environmental airflow on the falling trajectory of the UAV, and quantifies the aerodynamic characteristics of the UAV by introducing the aerodynamic derivative. For example, when the aerodynamic derivative of the UAV is greater than 1 (statically unstable state), the aerodynamics model will calculate the lateral deviation caused by airflow disturbance during falling, and correct the "circular basic range" output by the free fall model to a more realistic "elliptical or irregular range". If a special airflow environment such as a high-rise "air port" is encountered, the aerodynamics model can also adjust the air resistance coefficient combined with historical wind field data to make the risk range prediction more accurate.
[0031] The prior physical model only takes the elevation parameter of the height layer as the only variable, ensuring that the risk range of different height layers can be calculated separately to meet the multi-height layer planning requirements.
[0032] In the fourth step, the elevation parameters of multiple height layers are input into the risk impact range model to obtain the original risk impact range of the multiple height layers. That is, the elevation parameters of multiple height layers, such as 100 meters, 150 meters, 200 meters, etc., are input into the constructed risk impact range model one by one, and the original risk impact range corresponding to each height layer is obtained through model calculation, that is, the spatial boundary that may be affected by the unmanned aerial vehicle after failure at this height.
[0033] In step S200 of the embodiment of the present application, the real-time scheduling scheme of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the target area is obtained, and the airspace risk distribution information of the target area is evaluated in combination with the real-time characteristics of the task, including: The real-time scheduling scheme of the unmanned aerial vehicle in each height layer of the target area is obtained, wherein the real-time scheduling scheme of the unmanned aerial vehicle includes intrinsic characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle and load characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle; The most unfavorable original risk impact range in the original risk impact range is extracted, and the target area is time-sequentially partitioned along the predetermined planar route of the target unmanned aerial vehicle in combination with the sliding window method to obtain multiple path time-sequential partitions, wherein the predetermined planar route is determined based on the real-time characteristics of the task; The analysis time sequence label is determined in combination with the predetermined planar route by traversing multiple path time-sequential partitions; The airspace risk distribution information is obtained by performing airspace risk assessment in combination with the real-time scheduling scheme of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the analysis time sequence label with multiple airspace heights as analysis planes by traversing multiple path time-sequential partitions; The airspace risk distribution information includes multiple partition risk distribution clusters corresponding to multiple path time-sequential partitions, and each partition risk distribution cluster includes risk distribution maps of multiple airspace heights.
[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the purpose of step S200 is to dynamically capture the airspace conflict risk of different height layers and different time periods in the target area, generate accurate airspace risk distribution information, provide an airspace dynamic risk map for subsequent multi-height layer route planning, avoid risk overlap between the target unmanned aerial vehicle route and other unmanned aerial vehicles in the time-space+height dimension, and ensure airspace operation safety.
[0035] First, the real-time scheduling scheme of the unmanned aerial vehicle in each height layer of the target area needs to be obtained. That is, the real-time scheduling scheme of other unmanned aerial vehicles in all height layers in the target area is collected, including intrinsic characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle and load characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The intrinsic characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle, that is, the most unfavorable cruising speed and aerodynamic stability parameters of other unmanned aerial vehicles, determine the risk range of the unmanned aerial vehicle itself; the load characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle, that is, the load weight and type, affect the risk level.
[0036] Next, it is necessary to extract the most unfavorable original risk impact range from the original risk impact range, and combine it with the sliding window method to divide the target area into temporal partitions along the predetermined plane route of the target UAV to obtain multiple path temporal partitions, wherein the predetermined plane route is determined based on the real-time characteristics of the task.
[0037] This involves extracting the most unfavorable original risk impact range with the largest coverage area and highest risk level from the multi-altitude layer original risk impact range obtained from S100, such as the risk range of a high-payload, low-stability UAV at a certain altitude. Then, using the target UAV's predetermined planar flight path as a benchmark, a sliding window method is employed to divide the entire flight path and surrounding airspace along the flight direction into multiple continuous "path-time partitions," such as one partition corresponding to one minute of flight distance. This decomposes large-scale, long-term airspace risks into small-scale, short-term partition risks, reducing the computational complexity of subsequent risk assessments while ensuring that the risk analysis accurately matches the flight timeline of the target UAV.
[0038] Then, it is necessary to traverse multiple path time-series partitions and determine the analysis time-series labels in conjunction with the predetermined plane flight path. That is, traverse all path time-series partitions, and calculate the time when the target UAV enters each partition by combining the flight speed of the target UAV on the predetermined plane flight path and the distance length of each partition. For example, partition 1 corresponds to the flight time of minute 0-1, partition 2 corresponds to minute 1-2, and each partition is labeled with a unique analysis time-series label, such as "T0-T1" or "T1-T2".
[0039] Furthermore, it is necessary to traverse multiple path time-series partitions, using multiple airspace heights as analysis planes, and combine the UAV real-time scheduling scheme with the analysis time-series labels to conduct airspace risk assessment and obtain the airspace risk distribution information.
[0040] In step S200 of this embodiment, multiple path time-series partitions are traversed, and multiple airspace altitudes are used as analysis planes. Airspace risk assessment is performed by combining the UAV real-time scheduling scheme with the analysis time-series labels to obtain airspace risk distribution information, including: In the multiple path time-series partitions, a spatial altitude is randomly selected as the first analysis plane, and the first UAV intrinsic feature set and the first UAV payload feature set are extracted accordingly. Based on the characteristics of the first UAV payload, a first benchmark risk index is obtained; Based on the intrinsic characteristics of the first UAV and combined with the preset evaluation function, the first risk diffusion coefficient is evaluated and obtained. Based on the mapping relationship between the intrinsic characteristics of UAVs and the characteristics of UAV payloads, the first plane risk scatter plot is obtained by weighting the first benchmark risk index and the first risk diffusion coefficient accordingly. Smoothly fit the first plane risk scatter plot to obtain the first altitude risk distribution map; Traverse multiple spatial domain heights of the path time-series partitions to obtain multiple risk distribution maps, and output them as the risk distribution clusters of the partitions; Traverse multiple path time-series partitions to obtain multiple partition risk distribution clusters, and output the spatial risk distribution information.
[0041] In this embodiment of the application, the purpose of the above-mentioned subdivision step S200 is to perform refined airspace risk calculation for different altitude layers of each path time-series partition, transform the abstract UAV intrinsic characteristics and UAV payload characteristics into a visualized and quantifiable risk distribution map, and finally form airspace risk distribution information covering "time-series partition - altitude layer", providing an accurate airspace risk heat map for subsequent route planning, and ensuring that airspace conflict risks at different altitudes and at different times can be accurately avoided.
[0042] The first step is to randomly select an airspace altitude from the multiple path time-series partitions as the first analysis plane, and extract the first UAV intrinsic feature set and the first UAV payload feature set accordingly.
[0043] In other words, among the multiple path time series partitions that have been divided, an airspace altitude is randomly selected as the "first analysis plane", such as 120 meters altitude of a certain path time series partition. From the UAV real-time scheduling scheme of the UAV in the path time series partition, the "first UAV intrinsic feature set" of all other UAVs at this altitude is extracted, that is, the most unfavorable cruise speed and aerodynamic stability parameters of each UAV; and the "first UAV payload feature set", that is, the payload weight and type of each UAV.
[0044] The second step is to obtain a first baseline risk index based on the payload characteristics of the first UAV. Specifically, based on the extracted payload characteristics of the first UAV, such as payload weight, a corresponding "first baseline risk index" can be matched for each other UAV at that altitude by referring to a preset "payload-risk index mapping table". For example, in the payload-risk index mapping table: payload < 5kg corresponds to baseline risk index 1, 5kg ≤ payload < 10kg corresponds to risk index 2, and payload ≥ 10kg corresponds to risk index 3.
[0045] The third step is to evaluate and obtain the first risk diffusion coefficient based on the intrinsic characteristics of the first UAV and in conjunction with the preset evaluation function.
[0046] Specifically, it is necessary to use aerodynamic stability parameters, namely aerodynamic derivatives greater than or equal to 1 as defined in the previous steps, to substitute these parameters into a preset evaluation function to calculate the "first risk diffusion coefficient" for each other UAV. For example, the risk diffusion coefficient is calculated as follows: Risk diffusion coefficient = 0.5 × aerodynamic derivative + 0.5 × (most unfavorable cruise speed / actual cruise speed).
[0047] It is easy to see from the above formula that the larger the aerodynamic derivative (the more unstable the drone), the higher the most unfavorable cruise speed, the wider the trajectory deviation after failure, the greater the risk diffusion coefficient, and the greater the correction range of the risk impact.
[0048] The fourth step is to obtain a first planar risk scatter plot by weighting the first benchmark risk index and the first risk diffusion coefficient based on the mapping relationship between the intrinsic characteristics of the UAV and the UAV payload characteristics.
[0049] Specifically, based on the preset mapping relationship between the intrinsic characteristics and payload characteristics of the UAV, the first benchmark risk index and the first risk diffusion coefficient of each other UAV need to be calculated by weighting. For example, based on historical experience, the weight of the benchmark risk index can be set to 0.6 and the weight of the risk diffusion coefficient can be set to 0.4.
[0050] The final risk value is calculated as: benchmark risk index × 0.6 + risk diffusion coefficient × 0.4. The calculated "final risk value" is then mapped to the real-time position (latitude and longitude) of the UAV on the first analysis plane to generate a "first plane risk scatter plot". Each point in the plot represents the position of a UAV and its corresponding risk value.
[0051] The fifth step is to smoothly fit the first planar risk scatter plot to obtain the first altitude risk distribution map.
[0052] Specifically, interpolation algorithms such as Kriging interpolation can be used to smoothly fit the discrete risk points in the first plane risk scatter plot, transforming isolated risk points into a "first-level risk distribution map" covering the entire first analysis plane. For example, red areas represent high-risk areas with a final risk value ≥ 3, yellow areas represent medium-risk areas with a final risk value ≤ 3, and green areas represent low-risk areas with a final risk value < 2.
[0053] The sixth step involves traversing multiple spatial heights of the path time-series partitions to obtain multiple risk distribution maps, which are then output as the partition risk distribution clusters. This process also involves traversing multiple path time-series partitions to obtain multiple partition risk distribution clusters, which are then output as the spatial risk distribution information.
[0054] That is, for all spatial heights of the current path time series partition, such as 100 meters, 110 meters, 120 meters...200 meters, repeat the above five steps to generate a risk distribution map for each height, and integrate these distribution maps into a "partition risk distribution cluster" for that partition.
[0055] Then, the above operations are performed on all path time-series partitions one by one to obtain the partition risk distribution cluster of each partition. Finally, the risk distribution clusters of all partitions are integrated to output "airspace risk distribution information" covering "full time-series partitions - full altitude layers".
[0056] In step S300 of this embodiment, based on high-precision geographic information data, ground functional zoning information of the target area is obtained, and ground risk distribution information on the predetermined plane flight path of the target UAV is evaluated accordingly, including: By combining the predetermined planar flight path with the range of impact of the most unfavorable original risk, the ground risk boundary is determined; Using ground risk boundaries as constraints, extract ground functional zoning information and zoning traffic heat information for the target area; Based on the ground functional zoning information, a baseline weight is determined, and the regional risk index of each functional zoning is calculated using the normalized zoning traffic heat information as an adjustment coefficient. Spatial interpolation is performed based on the regional risk index to generate the ground risk distribution information.
[0057] In this embodiment of the application, the purpose of step S300 is to accurately identify the risk distribution of the ground area below and around the predetermined flight path of the target UAV, identify high-risk ground areas such as densely populated areas and important facility areas, provide a ground risk map for subsequent multi-altitude flight path planning, avoid the risk range of the UAV failure covering sensitive ground areas, and reduce the risk of damage to ground personnel and property.
[0058] First, the ground risk boundary needs to be determined by combining the predetermined plane route with the range of the most unfavorable original risk impact.
[0059] That is, by combining the "target UAV's planned plane path" and the "most unfavorable original risk impact range" obtained in S100, the planned plane path is used as the central reference, and the maximum radius of the most unfavorable original risk impact range is used as the extension distance to delineate the "ground risk boundary" that needs to be assessed in key areas on the ground, that is, the outline of the ground area that may be affected after the UAV fails.
[0060] Then, ground functional zoning information and zoning traffic heat information of the target area need to be extracted, using ground risk boundaries as constraints.
[0061] Specifically, the ground risk boundary determined by the aforementioned steps is a spatial constraint, and two types of key information are extracted from high-precision geographic information data such as urban GIS maps.
[0062] First, there is information on ground functional zoning, which clarifies the classification of ground areas within the boundaries, such as residential areas, schools, hospitals, industrial parks, open green spaces, etc. Different functional zones have different risk sensitivities. Second, there is the information on traffic intensity in different functional zones, which involves obtaining dynamic activity intensity data for each zone, such as population density in residential areas, pedestrian traffic during school hours, and vehicle traffic in industrial parks. The higher the traffic intensity in a zone, the more severe the risk and consequences.
[0063] Furthermore, it is necessary to determine the baseline weights based on the aforementioned ground functional zoning information, and to calculate the regional risk index for each functional zoning using the normalized zoning traffic heat information as the adjustment coefficient.
[0064] First, the "benchmark weight" needs to be determined based on the ground functional zoning information. Specifically, the weight value needs to be preset according to the risk sensitivity of different zones. For example, the benchmark weight is set to 0.8 for densely populated and vulnerable areas such as schools and hospitals, 0.5 for residential areas, and 0.1 for open green spaces.
[0065] Then, the traffic heat information of the partition is "normalized" to convert the original traffic data, such as 1000 people / hour and 500 vehicles / hour, into a standardized coefficient between 0 and 1, which is used as an "adjustment coefficient". Next, the specific risk index for each functional zone is calculated using the formula "Regional Risk Index = Baseline Weight × Adjustment Coefficient". For example, for a densely populated area of a city, the adjustment coefficient during peak hours is 1, and the regional risk index is 0.8 × 1 = 0.8; the adjustment coefficient during off-peak hours is 0.2, and the regional risk index is 0.8 × 0.2 = 0.16.
[0066] Finally, spatial interpolation calculations are needed based on the regional risk index to generate the ground risk distribution information.
[0067] This involves using a spatial interpolation algorithm to transform the "regional risk index" calculated in the previous steps into continuous risk values covering the entire ground risk boundary, thereby generating "ground risk distribution information," typically presented in the form of a heatmap. For example, red represents high-risk areas, yellow represents medium-risk areas, and green represents low-risk areas. This provides a visual representation of the spatial gradient distribution of ground risks.
[0068] The information, along with the original risk impact range, is combined with a path planning algorithm based on a greedy strategy to perform a joint search at multiple altitude levels to obtain the multi-altitude spatial flight path of the target UAV. Prior to this, it also includes: Acquire historical low-altitude wind field data for the target airspace; The most unfavorable wind condition parameters are determined based on the historical wind field data of the low-altitude environment, and wind field correction coefficients are calculated accordingly to correct the shape of the original risk impact range, wherein the wind field correction coefficients are anisotropic. Based on the wind field correction coefficient, the original risk impact range is updated with axial correction.
[0069] In step S400 of this embodiment, based on the airspace risk distribution information, the ground risk distribution information, and the original risk impact range, a joint search is performed at multiple altitude levels using a path planning algorithm based on a greedy strategy to obtain the multi-altitude spatial flight path of the target UAV, including: Construct a greedy objective function, wherein the greedy objective function includes: The ground direct risk factor is determined based on the ground risk distribution information and the original risk impact range corresponding to the height layer; Airspace conflict risk factor determined based on the airspace risk distribution information and the original risk impact range corresponding to the altitude layer; With minimizing the greedy objective function as the optimization objective and the predetermined planar route as the constraint, a joint search is performed at multiple altitude levels based on a greedy strategy to obtain the multi-altitude spatial route.
[0070] In step S400 of this embodiment, based on the airspace risk distribution information and the ground risk distribution... In this embodiment of the application, the purpose of step S400 is to first correct the original risk impact range of the UAV to fit the actual wind conditions, then construct a greedy objective function that takes into account both ground and airspace risks, jointly search for the optimal route at multiple altitudes, and finally achieve a balance between risk minimization and operational efficiency, so as to ensure that the UAV flies safely and with low energy consumption in complex low-altitude environments.
[0071] To achieve the above objectives, the first step is to obtain historical wind field data of the low-altitude environment of the target airspace. This involves collecting historical wind field data accumulated over a long period of time in the target airspace, including parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, and wind frequency at different altitude levels. For example, data such as the annual average wind speed distribution at altitudes of 100–300 meters, the location of seasonal "wind gaps," and airflow intensity can be collected.
[0072] The second step is to determine the most unfavorable wind condition parameters based on the historical wind field data of the low-altitude environment, and to calculate the corresponding wind field correction coefficient for shape correction of the original risk impact range.
[0073] The most unfavorable wind condition parameter refers to the wind condition characteristic parameter selected from historical wind field data of the low-altitude environment of the target airspace that has the greatest "expansion" and "most significant trajectory deviation" in terms of the risk impact range after UAV failure. For example, the most unfavorable wind condition parameter can be the maximum instantaneous wind speed in the historical records of a certain altitude layer, such as 20 m / s.
[0074] Specifically, it is necessary to select the "most unfavorable wind condition parameter" that has the greatest impact on the risk range of the drone from historical wind field data; and calculate the "wind field correction coefficient" based on this most unfavorable wind condition parameter. Since different wind directions have different effects on the offset direction, the wind field correction coefficient needs to be differentiated by direction and has anisotropy. During the calculation, the correction base coefficient is first determined based on the most unfavorable wind speed.
[0075] For example, the wind speed data from historical wind field data at a certain altitude in the target airspace can be divided into multiple intervals, with the maximum instantaneous wind speed in the historical records at that altitude as the upper limit of the interval, such as 0-5 m / s, 5-10 m / s, 10-15 m / s, 15-20 m / s, etc. A corresponding "baseline correction factor" can be preset for each interval: 1.0 for 0-5 m / s, 1.2 for 5-10 m / s, 1.5 for 10-15 m / s, and 1.8 for 15-20 m / s.
[0076] Then, the direction is distinguished. For example, when the wind direction is the direction the drone is traveling, the wind field correction coefficient is 1.5 times the correction base coefficient. When the wind direction is at a 45° angle to the direction the drone is traveling, the wind field correction coefficient is 1.3 times the correction base coefficient. When the wind direction is opposite to the direction the drone is traveling, the wind field correction coefficient is 0.9 times the correction base coefficient. Following this logic, the wind field correction coefficients for different directions are finally obtained, which are used to correct the original circular risk range into an ellipse or irregular shape that fits the actual wind conditions.
[0077] The third step is to update the original risk impact range by axial correction using the wind field correction coefficient. This involves substituting the wind field correction coefficient into the original risk impact range model obtained in S100 and adjusting the spatial coordinates in the model axially, such as multiplying the risk radius by 1.5 along the wind direction axis, to obtain the corrected original risk impact range.
[0078] The fourth step is to construct the greedy objective function.
[0079] First, it is necessary to determine the direct ground risk factor based on the ground risk distribution information and the original risk impact range corresponding to the altitude layer.
[0080] Obtaining the ground direct risk factor involves overlaying the corrected original risk impact range with ground risk distribution information to calculate the percentage of the original risk impact range that covers the high-risk area. The higher the percentage, the larger the factor value. For example, covering 50% of the high-risk area corresponds to a ground direct risk factor of 0.8, and covering 10% of the high-risk area corresponds to a ground direct risk factor of 0.2.
[0081] Then, an airspace conflict risk factor needs to be determined based on the airspace risk distribution information and the original risk impact range corresponding to the altitude layer.
[0082] Obtaining the airspace conflict risk factor allows matching the corrected original risk impact range with airspace risk distribution information, i.e., the zonal risk distribution clusters, and calculating the overlap probability between the original risk impact range and the original risk impact range of other UAVs. The higher the probability, the larger the airspace conflict risk factor value. For example, an overlap probability of 80% corresponds to an airspace conflict risk factor of 0.9, 0% corresponds to an airspace conflict risk factor of 0.1, and so on.
[0083] Furthermore, it is necessary to optimize by minimizing the greedy objective function and constrain the predetermined planar route, and to perform a joint search at multiple altitude levels based on a greedy strategy to obtain the multi-altitude spatial route.
[0084] Specifically, the greedy objective function formula can be simplified to: Cost = α × Ground Direct Risk Factor + β × Airspace Conflict Risk Factor + γ × Climb Energy Consumption. Climb energy consumption is positively correlated with the actual energy consumption of the UAV reaching a certain altitude, used to balance the UAV's overall energy consumption. This climb energy consumption is a mapped value, of the same order of magnitude as the two risk factors, and dimensionless. For example, for a cargo UAV, a climb from 100m to 120m maps to a climb energy consumption of 0.15, a climb from 120m to 150m maps to a climb energy consumption of 0.25, and so on.
[0085] α, β, and γ are weighting coefficients, and their sum is 1. The specific values can be set according to the task priority. For example, α is 0.6 for large drones and 0.4 for small drones. The value of γ can be appropriately increased for cargo drones and decreased for patrol drones.
[0086] Then, based on the "predetermined horizontal flight path" in S100, it is necessary to ensure that the searched flight path does not deviate from the preset path in the horizontal direction. Then, the entire predetermined horizontal flight path is divided into multiple segments according to the flight sequence, such as every 5 kilometers. For each segment, all selectable altitude layers are traversed, such as traversing multiple altitude layers between 100 and 200 meters, with each layer spaced 10 meters apart. The "total cost value" of selecting each altitude layer is calculated, and the altitude with the minimum total cost value of the segment is selected as the "local optimal altitude".
[0087] Next, the local optimal altitudes of each road segment are connected to form a complete multi-altitude layer flight path; if the difference in optimal altitude between adjacent road segments exceeds a preset threshold, such as 30 meters, the intermediate altitude is finely adjusted, such as gradually transitioning from 120 meters to 150 meters, to reduce the number of altitude changes.
[0088] Finally, the route coordinates obtained from the joint search, including longitude, latitude, and altitude, are organized into structured data and output as the final flight path of the target UAV, i.e., a multi-altitude spatial route, which can be directly used for flight control.
[0089] By implementing the low-altitude risk distribution-oriented UAV multi-altitude flight path planning method provided in the embodiments of this application, at least the following can be achieved: 1. Precise risk management and efficient operation of UAV multi-altitude flight paths.
[0090] 2. Accurately determine the original risk range of drones at multiple altitudes to avoid misjudgment of risks.
[0091] 3. Provides multi-altitude joint search for optimal flight routes, balancing risk and energy consumption, and improving the flight safety and operational efficiency of UAVs.
