This paper addresses the dynamic routing problem of aerial vehicles (AVs) deployed from a stationary origin for the maritime surveillance of moving vessels. Two models are presented: AVAMDT (Aerial Vehicle Allocation Model with Discrete Time) and AVAMCT (Aerial Vehicle Allocation Model with Continuous Time). The objective is to maximize the total reward by efficiently routing AVs to visit multiple vessels while minimizing the number of vehicles used. The models differ in how they handle time: AVAMDT divides the temporal horizon into discrete windows, while AVAMCT treats time as continuous. The results show that AVAMCT offers higher rewards due to its flexibility in route planning, although, as expected, it requires more computational resources. In comparison, AVAMDT is faster but less precise, providing optimal solutions for simple scenarios.

摘要

This paper addresses the dynamic routing problem of aerial vehicles (AVs) deployed from a stationary origin for the maritime surveillance of moving vessels. Two models are presented: AVAMDT (Aerial Vehicle Allocation Model with Discrete Time) and AVAMCT (Aerial Vehicle Allocation Model with Continuous Time). The objective is to maximize the total reward by efficiently routing AVs to visit multiple vessels while minimizing the number of vehicles used. The models differ in how they handle time: AVAMDT divides the temporal horizon into discrete windows, while AVAMCT treats time as continuous. The results show that AVAMCT offers higher rewards due to its flexibility in route planning, although, as expected, it requires more computational resources. In comparison, AVAMDT is faster but less precise, providing optimal solutions for simple scenarios.
