UAV Path Planning Model Based on R5DOS Model Improved A-Star Algorithm

Abstract

In order to solve the problems of large amounts of calculation and long calculation times of the A-star algorithm in three-dimensional space, based on the R5DOS model, this paper proposes a three-dimensional space UAV path planning model. The improved R5DOS intersection model is combined with the improved A-star algorithm. Together, they construct a local search process, and the R5DOS path planning model is established by reducing the number of search nodes. The path planning model is simulated through MATLAB software and the model can greatly reduce the number of nodes and computational complexity of the A-star algorithm in three-dimensional spaces, while also reducing the calculation time of the UAV. Finally, we compare the improved A-star algorithm with the original A-star algorithm and the geometric A-star algorithm. The final fitting result proves that the improved A-star algorithm has a shorter computation time and fewer node visits. Overall, the simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the improved A-star algorithm and they can be used as a reference for future research on path planning algorithms.
