Automatic Flight Plan Creation Tool with Digital Twin for Monitoring Forest Fire on Mountain Trail through UAV

Abstract

A tool for creating flight plan is needed to monitor forest fires on mountain trail through UAV. Existing tools for crating flight plan for forest fires monitoring are created in a file format applicable to Ground Control Station. Additional time and manpower is consumed to apply the flight plan to the UAV. This paper presents AFPC(Automatic Flight Plan Creation), a tool that can automatically apply flight plan of UAV through digital twin. AFPC uses digital twins, so it can be easily expanded to enable UAV state monitoring and prediction using artificial intelligence. The evaluation of the AFPC compares the time and resources spent applying the flight plan created by the tool to UAVs with the related work. © 2022 Copyright for this paper by its authors.
