Autonomous drone charging station planning through solar energy harnessing for zero-emission operations
Abstract
The introduction of Unmanned Arial Vehicles (UAVs) in smart city operations is considered a sustainable technological solution due to the promised significant greenhouse gas emission reductions. This study developed an integrated multi-objective charging infrastructure coverage optimization model that integrates UAV-based operations with solar energy harnessing from building envelopes. This model maximizes UAVs’ coverage range and minimizes the …
