Optimizing Energy For Delivery Drones - A Comprehensive Tool Set For Drone Energy Calculation And Drone Fleet Optimization
Abstract
This tool is intended to be deployed for potential customers to compare the energy profiles across various drone types/classes. The primary factors considered were design of the drone, the weight of the drone, the weight of the payload, and how the drone is flown. It has energy comparison metrics like "Drone (A) vs Drone (B) ", "Drone vs Ground Vehicle", "Drone Energy from delivery via landing versus hovering". It also includes the ability to determine the number of drones and batteries needed to optimally deliver goods from a chosen location to a set of destinations.
