Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) safety inspection is a developing technology that offers the benefits of high efficiency, low cost, and freedom from dangerous areas and unique situations. An urgent fundamental issue in the deployment of UAV in factories is how to successfully strike a balance between the effectiveness and cost of UAV safety inspection. In view of this, we build a route planning model for UAV inspection. And then, by using the path planning of UAV safety inspection as the research object, based on the two important evaluation indicators of cost and efficiency, we exploit fuzzy time window and adaptive genetic algorithms to design the solution algorithm. Finally, a case verifies the applicability and logic of the proposed model. The results show that the proposed path optimization model with fuzzy time window can reasonably pass all inspection points under balanced conditions, and the hybrid genetic algorithm has good optimization ability.
