Outline of Final Research Achievements

Considering technology innovations and wider use of electric vehicles (EVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ad hoc network technologies and their applications were studied. Wireless sensor networks can be realized using EVs equipped with sensors. Stable and reliable sensor network deployment technologies such as node placement method, routing algorithms, and data delivery methods, using EVs parked on the roads, or driven on the roads, were developed, aiming applications including emergency network construction in case of natural disaster and environmental sensing.
With regard to UAVs, system architectures and technologies, such as node deployment, flight route selection, power supply methods, node cooperation strategies and role assignment, and sensor data relay methods, were developed, aiming applications including disaster-affected area surveillance and small package distribution services.
