Task Allocation Algorithm for Multiple UAVs in IoT Networks

As UAV and sensor techniques develop, UAVs are becoming more and more popular in both military and civilian fields. In post-earthquake evaluation scenes, UAVs and sensors can form an IoT network and collect environmental information. By allocating tasks reasonably and planning drone flight paths, data collection tasks within the entire earthquake area can be efficiently and stably completed. This paper proposes an improved task allocation algorithm based on the immune algorithm. The proposed algorithm can allocate tasks reasonably, and thus shorten the flight distance while avoiding meteorological threat areas.
