 Introduction , Technology and Infrastructure.
• Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles which make use of a
wide array of sensors and a sophisticated on board computer
to traverse the atmosphere.
• Made up of a light weight aerodynamic frame with multiple
actuators to provide thrust and flight.
• Sufficiently large battery for powering the entire system.
• Aspects of Technology , Infrastructure and
Regulations changes depending on the purpose of
the application .
• For Instance –In case of delivery of organs ,
regulations on drone should be neglected.
Benefits and scope of tech w,r,t to customer,
service and society :
• Quicker delivery –shorter routes
• Reaches beyond road –Less pollution , Surpasses the
traffic and is capable of delivery to remote locations
which aren't well connected by roads.
• Energy Conservation –No fuel,100% electric .
• Minimal human Involvement –One handler can
supervise multiple drones.
• Minimal cost associated with parcels
Key factors for enhancement of quick delivery in-case of
higher range of delivery to end customer
• Since battery of drones lasts 10-15 mins associated with
payloads (approx.<20lbs),drone’s flight range is restricted to
certain range of distance .
Solution to be above problem can be solved in following
ways
1.By strategically placing remote charging stations across
the city.
2. Exhausted batteries must be swapped with completely
charged batteries at the station. Removed batteries are slowly
charged and re-used.

 End users can be anyone who would like to buy things online , It seems that younger people will
tend to view the technology more positively.

End Users and • Fast transform speed

Their • Value personal privacy

Requirements • Less affect by the environment

• Better time management
• Easy to use
End users' requirements

Privacy: No needs of strangers come to your home as couriers .

And during the flight spying on the privacy of others as little as possible .

Fast transform speed : Goods need to be delivered in a short time .

Less affected by the environment : The route is not restricted by the road so goods should be transformed to any
areas even where were Inaccessible ， and it should not be blocked by bad weathers.

Easy to use : No special receiving device is required. It should be simply enough to receive and restart the machine.
Especially for some people with physical and mental disabilities, The drone should arrive with a special and clear
reminder and land in some easily accessible areas.

Risk and Health & Safety

 Risk and Health & Safety
Solution:

(1) Establish legal to manage drones and drone delivery

including setting no fly zone, route, altitude, speed and
weight.
(2) install monitoring and location module(Black box, GPS and
Electronic fence).
(3) Establish qualification identification system and fault
accountable system. Enhance education for drone operators.
Ethical considerations
Invasion of Privacy
· Some beachgoers and private property owners whose privacy
has been invaded by private drone operators.

· But no one seems to stop and consider the legal and ethical issues of
using drones to invade the privacy of others or for commercial use.

Unemployment
· These drones will take away lots of jobs, because its low cost,
convenient, and time saving.
· Create more unemployment and under-employment;
· Drive down wages
· Cause social unrest
Ethical considerations
Noise
· The required low altitude flying mandated by the FAA means that
drone operations can be incredibly noisy and therefore an intrusion
upon local populations.
· harmful to civilians, in mental and physical health
· influence the quality of living

Safety
· Drones get out of control

· Flight path too much approaching buildings

· some accidents, such as air crash
