AI Technical Summary
Existing eVTOL energy-saving path planning technology does not fully consider the differences in rotor hovering energy consumption, air resistance, speed and altitude, and fails to effectively cope with the impact of temporary weather restrictions in urban low-altitude flight, resulting in discrepancies between energy consumption prediction and actual energy consumption, making it difficult to obtain the optimal solution.
By constructing an energy-saving path planning method that considers dynamic meteorological constraints, the spatiotemporal impact range of meteorological blockages is predicted, the passability of blocked flight segments is quantified, and the optimal energy consumption decision is made between hovering and detouring. The hovering and detouring strategies are constructed, and the scheme with the minimum total energy consumption is selected.
It significantly reduces energy loss of eVTOL under microweather and temporary weather restrictions, and improves range and route planning robustness.
