In order to reduce the risk of logistics drones to the ground after failure or collision in the air, a model for logistics drones to the ground risk assessment was constructed, focusing on the risk analysis of drone failure and crash. Firstly, in the drone failure and crash risk model, the possible failure of drones in different flight stages was discussed in detail, including vertical fall and horizontal fall, as well as the casualties and economic losses that these falls may cause to ground personnel. Secondly, the collision and crash risk model was analyzed the dynamic behavior of drones after a collision in the air and its impact on ground safety, including collision momentum-energy conservation and collision consequence assessment. Finally, a comprehensive three-dimensional risk assessment matrix was constructed, combining the possibility of accidents, the number of deaths on the ground and the economic losses to evaluate the risk level in different scenarios. The case analysis shows that the number of deaths on the ground is within the order of 10-6, and the risk level in different regions is obtained. It can be seen that this method provides important risk assessment tools and data support for logistics drone operators and relevant policy makers.
