Orbital-graph model of flight routes for unmanned aerial vehicles

Abstract

 The article offers a graph-analytical model for describing and investigating the routes of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The article describes the peculiarities and disadvantages of constructing graph models in the problems of UAV traffic routing, and substantiates the feasibility of using cluster analysis in its research. An orbital graph was constructed for the problem of monitoring a transport pipeline, and an algorithm and software tool were developed that implement this model. The OGM is applied in the task of analyzing fragments in the specified routes.
