Domestic Policy Environment
As the leading industry in China's low-altitude economy, drone transportation applications have also shown the development trend of being more efficient, economical and safer against the background of the current favorable political environment.
On February 23, 2024, the fourth meeting of the Central Finance and Economy Commission emphasized that reducing the logistics cost of the whole society is an important measure to improve the efficiency of economic operation, and encouraged the development of new logistics models combined with platform economy, low-altitude economy and unmanned driving, which provided macro-directional support for the development of drone logistics and transportation.
Logistics and Transportation Application Scenarios
1. Cargo distribution
Express parcels and goods can be delivered quickly and efficiently at low altitude in the city, reducing traffic congestion and the cost of distribution.
2. Infrastructure Transportation
Due to resource development, regional infrastructure, tourism development and other types of needs, the demand for infrastructure transportation is strong, in the face of scattered transportation problems at multiple take-off and landing points, the use of UAVs can be manually controlled to respond flexibly to the flight to open the online task recording, and then subsequent flights can be automatically flown back and forth.
3. Shore-based transportation
Shore-based transportation covers anchorage supply transportation, offshore platform transportation, island-to-island transportation across rivers and seas, and other scenarios. The mobility of the carrier UAV can fill the gap between supply and demand for immediate scheduling, small batch and emergency transportation.
4. Emergency Medical Rescue
Rapid delivery of emergency supplies, medicines or medical equipment in the city to help patients in urgent need of rescue and improve the efficiency of medical rescue. For example, delivering medicines, blood and other medical supplies to meet urgent medical needs.
5. City Attractions
There are many tourist attractions, and in order to maintain the operation of scenic spots, high-frequency and periodic transportation of living materials up and down the mountain is required. Drones can be used to expand the scale of transportation in daily large-scale transportation as well as in times of large passenger flow, rain and snow, and other sudden increases in demand for transportation capacity, thus easing the contradiction between supply and demand.
6. Emergency Transportation
In case of sudden disasters or accidents, timely transportation of emergency supplies is the key guarantee for rescue and relief. The use of large drones can overcome terrain obstacles and quickly and efficiently reach the place where the disaster or accident occurs.
Logistics and Transportation Solutions
UAV mission routes are divided into normalized material transportation routes, temporary flight routes and manually controlled flight routes. The daily flight of UAV mainly selects the normalized transportation route as the main one, and the UAV realizes point-to-point flight without stopping in the middle; if it encounters the temporary task demand, it can plan the temporary route to carry out the operation, but it should ensure that the route is safe to fly; the manually operated flight is only in the case of emergency, and it is operated by the personnel with the flight qualification.
In the process of task planning, electronic fences should be set up to delineate safety zones, no-fly zones and restricted zones to ensure that UAVs fly in safe and controllable areas. Daily logistics transportation mainly adopts fixed routes, AB point take-off and landing transportation operations, and when there are requirements for cluster operations, a cluster control system can be selected to realize cluster logistics transportation operations.
