Aviation Emergency Rescue Dispatching Plan Based on Route Optimization Model Considering Random Wind

Abstract— As an effective means of nature disaster relief, aviation emergency rescue is widely used in many countries. Aviation emergency rescue dispatching plan plays a dominant role that guarantees the efficient implementation of aviation emergency rescue. The conventional dispatching plan without considering random wind factor leads to non-precise quick-responsive scheme and safe issue. In this paper, an aviation emergency rescue framework considering the influence of random wind at flight trajectory is proposed. In this framework, the predicted wind information at disaster area is updated by unscented Kalman filtering (UKF) technology. Then, the motion model of rescue airplane is built by fusing the effect of random wind. An optimization model aiming at maximizing satisfaction index of rescue priority and minimizing total rescue flight distance is formulated. Finally, hill-climbing genetic algorithm is used to solve the mentioned multiple-targets model. A case study with a real earthquake disaster occurring in Sichuan Province is conducted. The results show that the obtained dispatching plan considering the constraints of updated wind speed and direction is more applicable for real operation.
