Abstract

Abstract: Specified terminal time is a special requirement in some path planning problems. It is difficult to solve in real time with specified time, angle and multiple no-fly zones considered. A practical path model is utilized, and a nonlinear optimization problem with respect to waypoints is reformulated. The requirements on time, angle and obstacle avoidance for original path planning problem are converted into constraints of the proposed optimization after geometrical relationships are identified. The optimization problem is established and met the form of sequential quadratic programming problem which is solved by SNOPT (Sparse Nonlinear OPTimizer) package. A computer-aid interactive simulation platform based on Windows OS is designed by MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes). Simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and the flexibility of the interactive platform.
