Research on Task Planning Key Technology for UAV Communication Optical Cable Line Inspection

Traditional communication Optical Cable Line Inspections (OCLI) often use labor inspection method, but traditional method will take long inspection time and high labor consumption. In contrast, OCLI by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspections have many advantages, such as good visibility, low cost, flexibility and high efficiency. There are many key issues and technologies need to be addressed, which significantly impact the execution of OCLI tasks. This paper proposes a UAV OCLI task planning method based on the combination of the Analytic Hierarchy Process and Genetic Algorithm, and its feasibility and practicality are verified through simulation experiments.
