Research on Layout Planning Method for Logistics Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Landing Sitess under UAM Background

With the rapid development of China’s logistics and transportation industry, how to reasonably and efficiently use drones to carry out logistics and distribution business under the background of UAM has become a focus of attention for social enterprises. It is urgent to propose a feasible logistics drone take-off and landing sites layout planning method based on reality. The article first explains the principles and connotations of the layout of logistics unmanned aerial vehicle take-off and landing sites, dividing logistics distribution scenarios into three sub scenarios: urban end of pipe distribution, medical material distribution, and short distance logistics transportation. Then, based on strong constraint conditions, preliminary site selection is carried out for each sub scenario. The HRW-Kmedoids algorithm is used to optimize the site selection points for each sub scenario, and the final site selection and alternative points are obtained. The Huangpu District of Guangzhou is taken as a case study for field application. The results show that compared with the traditional method, this method can effectively avoid the actual undeployable area, and it is helpful to reasonably plan the location of the vertical take-off and landing field according to the actual demand, so as to provide some reference for the future vertical take-off and landing field layout.
