Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) routing is transitioning from an emerging topic to a growing research area and one critical aspect of it is the energy consumption of UAVs. This transition induces a need to identify factors, which affects the energy consumption of UAVs and thereby the routing. This paper presents an analysis of different parameters that influence the energy consumption of the UAV Routing Problem. This is achieved by analyzing an example scenario of a single UAV multiple delivery mission, and based on the analysis, relationships between UAV energy consumption and the influencing parameters are shown.
