Drones na Cidade Grande: Reduzindo Colisões em Entregas Aéreas
Abstract
Delivery companies have already started to perform small-scale tests with drones. In general, to comply with big cities, it is necessary to consider a large number of drones. In this scenario, it is fundamental to avoid collisions with other drones or typical obstacles of urban spaces. This paper proposes a geometric collision avoidance strategy called GeoDrone, which has its effectiveness compared with two approaches: keeping the original route and a literature geometric procedure. GeoDrone reduced the collisions to up to 14.5 times related to the literature procedure. We conclude that geometric strategies substantially reduce the collisions in this scenario but do not eliminate them, indicating the necessity of specifying more sophisticated approaches.
