Shorter Transportation Route

Routes are shorter without terrain limits in the air.

Faster Speed

With characteristics of great load capacity and long endurance, UAVs can perform fast transportation in remote mountainous regions at a speed times that on the ground.

Applications

Challenges in Remote Mountainous Region Logistic Transportation Business :

  • Because of difficult traffic, agricultural and sideline products produced through plantation, breeding, or making by farmers in remote mountainous regions are hard to be transported out for selling in town markets for profits to alleviate poverty.
  • Residents in some remote mountainous regions are far away from towns or county and they hardly go out in a year to buy domestic appliance, living materials, and clothes in the market, so their living standard cannot be increased significantly.
  • Residents in remote mountainous regions are dispersed, so road building costs much. Mountain blocking causes impossible intervisibility to UAVs between in and out of the mountain. Thus, it is difficult to transport materials using UAVs.

UAV Application Advantages :

  • Multi-rotor UAVs feature great load capacity, low purchase and operation cost, and easy operation and can be used in transportation of agricultural and sideline products to nodal points under the mountain from on the mountain and in direct shipment to town markets for selling.
  • Great-load unmanned helicopters feature great load capacity, long endurance, etc., and are capable of shipping heavy domestic appliance, agricultural machinery and tools, and living materials directly to designated positions in remote mountainous regions from towns or counties.
  • Mobile communication TT&C or satcom TT&C is adopted to accomplish effective TT&C information communication during a whole flight so that flight safety can be increased.
