Cooperative Transmission Line Inspection Between Inspection Vehicle and UAV

In order to improve the automation degree and efficiency of inspection, this paper puts forward the electric inspection mode of cooperative operation of vehicle and machine. The mathematical programming model of TSP-D is established. In this paper, ant colony algorithm is used to solve the above model. By analyzing the endurance capability of UAVs, the location of the return point was determined, and then go back to breakpoint and continue (GBC) method is adopted to plan the remaining operation path. Finally, experimental results show that the proposed method is effective.
