Abstract

Countries around the world, including the U.S. are actively researching to commercialize the logistics services using drones. In Korea, telecommunications companies as well as logistics companies are researching and developing the logistics services using drones. However, there's an environmental difference for last-mile delivery between the U.S. and Korea. In Korea, more than 77% of the population lives in apartments and the population density is the 4th highest in the world. Accordingly, in terms of the logistics services using drones, it is necessary to research it with the Korean suitable environment. In this paper, a precision positioning method of drone last-mile delivery in urban areas using short-range wireless communication and barometer is proposed. The experiment results show that the proposed method can detect a window within 2.5 meters. It is expected that the proposed method will help improve the logistics services using drones in urban areas.

미국을 비롯한 전 세계 국가는 드론을 이용한 물류 서비스의 상용화를 위해 활발한 연구를 진행하고 있다. 국내에서도 물류 배송 기업을 비롯하여 이동통신사에서도 드론 물류 배송 서비스의 연구, 개발을 진행 중이다. 그러나 우리나라와 미국은 last-mile 물류 배송 환경이 다르다. 우리나라는 인구의 77% 이상이 아파트 등의 공동주택에 살고 있으며 인구 밀도가 전 세계 4위에 달하는 나라이다. 이에 따라 드론 물류 배송에 있어 우리나라 환경에 맞는 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 도시 지역에서의 근거리 무선통신과 기압계를 활용한 드론 물류 배송의 정밀 위치 판단의 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법을 통해 2.5m 이내의 창문도 탐지할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법을 통해 도심에서의 드론 물류 배송 기술의 향상에 도움이 되길 기대한다.
