面向能效优化的空地异构系统协同路径规划与逆向调度方法

Energy-Efficiency-Oriented Collaborative Path Planning and Reverse Scheduling Method for Air-Ground Heterogeneous Systems

  • 摘要: 以无人机、无人车为代表的无人系统已成为交通事故等应急救援场景的快速响应技术平台。这一类应急任务对时效性和环境适应性要求较高,但不同类型的空地无人系统中行驶速度的差异常常导致无人机空中悬停时间过长,从而造成任务总能耗过高,严重影响了应急效能。为此,提出一种融合精细化环境表征与逆向时序调度的空地异构系统协同路径规划方法。首先,基于多源遥感高程数据与矢量路网构建空地一体化环境模型,通过三维体素网格与通行时间阻抗准确量化立体障碍,并利用三次B样条平滑方法生成符合运动学约束的可行轨迹;然后,提出基于逆向时序推演的异步调度机制,以地面车辆预计到达时间为刚性时空约束,反向锁定无人机最优起飞窗口,实现从“高能耗空中悬停”向“低能耗地面待机”的模式转变。仿真实验验证了所提方法能够在复杂的城市环境中生成不发生碰撞的安全路径。与传统的ISD策略相比,该策略将系统总能耗从传统策略的700.8kJ降低至239.1kJ,综合节能效率达到65.9%,有效解决了因速度差异导致的能耗瓶颈,有效延长了异构无人应急系统的续航时间。

     

    Abstract: Heterogeneous air-ground unmanned systems have emerged as pivotal platforms for rapid response in emergency rescue scenarios. However, the significant velocity disparity between aerial and ground units often results in excessive aerial hovering, leading to prohibitive energy consumption and compromised mission endurance. To mitigate this bottleneck, this study develops a collaborative path planning method that integrates high-fidelity environmental modeling with a reverse chronological scheduling strategy, specifically oriented toward system-level energy efficiency optimization. Methods: An integrated air-ground environmental representation is first established by fusing multi-source remote sensing data, including ALOS World 3D-30m (AW3D30) DSM and OpenStreetMap (OSM) vector networks. Three-dimensional voxelized cost maps and travel-time impedance models are implemented to precisely quantify urban obstacles. Subsequently, feasible 3D trajectories are generated using an improved A* algorithm, followed by cubic B-spline smoothing to ensure compliance with non-holonomic kinematic constraints. To resolve the spatio-temporal desynchronization of heterogeneous platforms, an asynchronous scheduling mechanism based on Reverse Chronological Deduction (RCD) is proposed. By designating the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) of the ground vehicle as a rigid spatiotemporal boundary, the optimal launch window for the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is determined via backward inference. This approach facilitates a strategic shift from energy-intensive "aerial hovering" to low-power "ground standby." Results: Quantitative evaluations in complex urban environments verify the robustness of the proposed framework in generating collision-free, safe trajectories. Comparative analysis reveals that the RCD-based strategy drastically reduces total system energy consumption from 700.8 kJ (under the ISD strategy) to 239.1 kJ. Conclusions: The proposed methodology achieves a comprehensive energy-saving efficiency of 65.9%. By fundamentally overcoming the energy bottleneck caused by cross-platform speed differences, this research provides a reliable theoretical and technical framework for precise spatio-temporal synchronization in heterogeneous unmanned systems.
