This paper examines the effect that the selection of the different collision avoidance trigger time has on UAV safety and avoidance efficiency and finds the optimal trigger time for different cases. The trigger time indicates when a collision avoidance maneuver begins. An earlier trigger time is safer for the UAV to avoid all the obstacles but causes the UAV to deviate away from its intended path, while a delayed avoidance trigger action reduces overall path deviation but entails a higher risk of collision. Thus, the balance between safety and avoidance efficiency is important. Simulations for different mission scenarios show that by selecting specific avoidance trigger times, missed waypoints which are a result of the avoidance maneuver, could be reduced by over 40%. In addition, avoidance time and space required by the avoidance maneuver are also reduced, as compared to always starting the avoidance maneuver when the obstacle is first detected. Hence, selecting the avoidance trigger time can improve the performance of the UAV’s avoidance maneuver, especially for real-time applications.
