Data Gathering from a Large Scale Wireless Sensor Network with means of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Abstract

Nowadays, with the developing technology, the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has become quite common. With the increase in the use of UAVs in the military and civilian area, the studies in UAVs are also increasing. Minimizing the costs and improving safety play an important role in the development of these systems according to different terms of use. UAV route planning is quite a difficult problem when multiple tasks exist that contain the multiple target point and also considering the constraints of the environment. The aim of this study is to achieve appropriate route planning with UAVs in a Wireless Sensor network environment, to collect data on the nodes. In MATLAB, implementation is reviewed with genetic algorithm method in a three-dimensional radar threatened environment. And obtained results shows that the proposed model is fast and produce an acceptable solution.
