IEEE Access Hosts Permanent Society/Council Sections

Did you know that IEEE Access hosts multiple, permanent Society/Council Sections? These sections are collections of articles that focus on an IEEE Society/Council’s fields of interest, grouped together on IEEE Xplore. Articles submitted to these sections are managed by topically focused Editors from that Society/Council, and undergo high-quality, rigorous peer review in only 4 to 6 weeks.

Publishing open access gives your research maximum visibility, and with the expedited peer review process of IEEE Access, you can share your research with the world faster. View all of the Society/Council Sections that IEEE Access hosts by clicking here.

IEEE Access welcomes new Managing Editor, Jenny Mahoney

IEEE Access would like to welcome our new Managing Editor, Jenny Mahoney.

Jenny Mahoney received both her M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2007, studying gas phase collisions with a particular focus on electron impact ionization of silicon tetrachloride radicals. After winning a postdoctoral fellowship to build ultraviolet light sources at a startup company in Rutgers-Newark, she was hired as a senior research scientist on an Air Force Research grant at the Center for Microplasma Science and Technology (CMST) at St. Peter’s University. She joined Wiley in 2011 as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Polymer Science, Part B: Polymer Physics and served as the in-house Editor-in-Chief from 2015-2019.

We look forward to working with Jenny and utilizing her expertise to continue the success of IEEE Access.

Performance Evaluation of Multi-UAV System in Post-Disaster Application….

Can eyes in the air counter chaos on the ground? Researchers in Japan analyzed performance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used in the response to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake-tsunami disaster, and report on their findings in this IEEE Access article of the week.

The paper proposes an evaluation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) performance in the mapping of disaster-struck areas. Sendai city in Japan, which was struck by the Tohoku earthquake/tsunami disaster in 2011, was mapped using multi-heterogeneous UAV.

Normal mapping and searching missions are challenging as human resources are limited, and rescue teams are always needed to participate in disaster response mission. Mapping data and UAV performance evaluation will help rescuers to access and commence rescue operations in disaster-affected areas more effectively.

Herein, flight-plan designs are based on the information recorded after the disaster and on the mapping capabilities of the UAVs. The numerical and statistical results of the mapping missions were validated by executing the missions on real-time flight experiments in a simulator and analyzing the flight logs of the UAVs.

After considering many factors and elements that affect the outcomes of the mapping mission, the authors provide a significant amount of useful data relevant to real UAV modules in the market. All flight plans were verified both manually and in a hardware-in-the-loop simulator developed by the authors. Most of the existing simulators support only a single UAV feature and have limited functionalities such as the ability to run different models on multiple UAVs.

The simulator demonstrated the mapping and fine-tuned flight plans on an imported map of the disaster. As revealed in the experiments, the presented results and performance evaluations can effectively distribute different UAV models in post-disaster mapping missions.
