Drones for Transportation Logistics and Disaster Management

Preface

In most inaccessible and emergency situations, drones have played an important role. The application of drones is relevant in various disastrous and commercial sectors. But the implementation of drones for extended services in logistics and disastrous situations requires standards, policies, and procedures to be strictly implemented. Also, future drones are projected to have many real-time advanced applications as government regulations evolve. The implementation of current drones in several industrial and service sectors has extended the possibility of handling transportation and logistics. As the future of transportation is based on unmanned vehicles it is indeed important to identify the challenges involved and identify futuristic applications of drones.

The edited book discusses several important aspects and surveys the recent technological advancements of future drones, the challenges faced in current practices, and their advanced applications. Further, it describes the future intelligent and resilient transportation systems backed with the Internet of Vehicle Things, the problem faced by Big Data Analytics and their optimization techniques for inhouse supply-chain management. Also, establishing a framework for handover management on the Internet of Drone-based networks is a daunting task. The role of 5G communications for handling communication in drones, its related security, and legal aspects raises concerns and are addressed here. The perspective of all the ...
