    In this paper, we introduce the Glider Routing and Trajectory Optimisation Problem (GRTOP), the problem of finding simultaneously optimal routes and trajectories for a fleet of gliders with the aim of surveying a set of locations. We propose a novel Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) formulation for the GRTOP, which simultaneously optimises the routes as well … Read more

    Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly popular over the past few years. The complexity of routing UAVs has not been fully investigated in the literature. In this survey, we aim to review recent contributions in UAV trajectory optimisation, UAV routing and contributions addressing these two problems simultaneously. A unified framework is introduced to describe … Read more
