| Summary: | The current growth in the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles has brought to attention the need to develop a
corresponding new infrastructure. One of those is the Carousel Inspired Virtual Circulation method, which
consists on having Unmanned Aerial Vehicles represented as virtual blocks circulating alongside a virtual
closed circuit. The purpose of this paper is to model and simulate this method in a landing configuration
for large Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and evaluate its efficacy. Compared to previous works, this simulation
will take into account more restrictive parameters and consider a randomized disruption, as well as an
emergency landing situation. The results obtained after three runs of the simulation showed that, for each
simulation, at least one virtual block landed after running out of battery. Thus, the limits of the method
have been identified and further optimization of the landing sequence will be required for future works. |
