The uses of unmanned aerial vehicles –UAV’s- (or drones) in social logistic: Natural disasters response and humanitarian relief aid (original) (raw)
Abstract
This paper evaluates the crucial role of unmanned aerial vehicles-UAV's-(or Drones) in the case of natural disasters response and humanitarian relief aid. The primary objective of this paper is to evaluate how unmanned aerial vehicles-UAV's-(or Drones) in the present or near future can help survivors in the case of a tsunami, earthquake, flooding, and any natural disaster. Initially, we assume that in any natural disaster always exist the high possibility of damage to the infrastructure, transportation systems, telecommunications systems access, and basic services immediately. This research proposes three areas the uses of unmanned aerial vehicles-UAV's-(or Drones) in the case of natural disasters response and humanitarian relief aid. These are (i) the aerial monitoring post-natural disaster damage evaluation, (ii) the natural disaster logistic and cargo delivery, (iii) the post-natural disaster aerial assessment.

UlISIGOL UNCLE LY VO Ol MU SstOll slases. Mission Stage-1 is named the aerial monitoring post-natural disasters damage magnitude evaluation. The Missic tage-1 focus on the uses of Quadcopters with high-quality resolution cameras in real time. The primary objective « nission stage-lis to evaluate the infrastructure devastation preliminarily after of any natural disaster quickh lowever, we evaluate a significant number of Quadcopters according to QDSPLTCE-Table and P in the larg narket of Quadcopters, Drones, and Smart Platforms and LUAV’s can help in case of any natural hazard. Accordin 9 this research, after an exhausted evaluation of Quadcopter by Quadcopter. We find five Quadcopters branches | rder can be used in case of Mission Stage-1: (i) Phantom 4 Advanced (¥ = 0.91); (ii) Mavic Pro (¥ = 0.90); (ii )JI Inspire 2 (Y = 0.88); (iv) H920 PLUS Yuneec (VY = 0.85); (v) Parrot BEBOP 2 FPV (¥ = 0.80) (see Figure 3 ‘hese five quadcopters show a high performance according to its () standards. These five type of Quadcopters cz it perfectly for any mission for observation in any post-natural disasters evaluation. These five Quadcopters can fl perimeter of 7 kilometers without any problem during an average of 25-30 minutes in the air with an averag naximum speed of 60 Km/Hr with an average altitude of 3500 Mts. The evaluation of Quadcopters for th articular type of mission depends highly on the altitude, battery duration, and camera quality.
![Two countries are pioneers in using quadcopters in the case of natural disasters are referring to large earthquakes and tsunamis in China and Japan respectively. In China, Quadcopters have already proven their value in evaluating the damage of earthquakes such as the case of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake (69,000 killed and 18,000 missing people). The uses if Quadcopters by the Chinese government and rescue agencies were able to detect and evaluate the highways, buildings, schools, hospitals, electric plants, bridges and tunnels conditions, and other population- dense locations [14].](https://figures.academia-assets.com/58611699/figure_002.jpg)
