Strengthening Security during Sporting Events by Unmannde Aerial Vehicles
conference paper
This paper shows how Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can improve security in major sporting events. Given the increase in violence among sports fans it is important to timely monitor possible conflict locations. A UAV can patrol and remotely monitor the activity at these
locations. Such a patrol tour should be repeatedly executed in order to constantly update the available information about the different locations. Besides aiming to find a short tour to efficiently monitor all locations, it is important to take into consideration that the UAV might be redirected from its tour to another location where some abnormal activity is taking place. In this paper we introduce a general binary fractional program which provides a method to find a balance between the tour duration and the ability of the UAV to fly to locations of new conflicts as soon as possible. Using a case study we illustrate the purpose of our model.
