UAV path planning for Search and Rescue missions enhanced with Random-Key Optimizers

This paper introduces a novel routing architecture for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) path planning in Search and Rescue (SAR) missions. The system combines a closed-loop probability update with Random-Key Optimizers (RKO) to address the stochastic and real-time constraints of these operations. Modeled as a dynamic probabilistic variant of the Open Vehicle Routing Problem, the architecture adaptively balances probability maximization with resource minimization, demonstrating scalability and competitive performance in computational tests.

    Maximizing Detection Probability in UAV Search Missions using Random-Key Optimizers

    This paper focuses on the stochastic and real-time constraints of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) path planning in Search and Rescue (SAR) missions. We introduce a configurable data-driven and intelligent routing architecture that combines a closed-loop probability update with the …
