An automated system is provided that receives and utilizes travel related data from unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAVs”) for optimizing the scheduling and routing of deliveries by UAVs. Travel routes through delivery areas are planned and when it is determined that a first UAV has deviated from a planned travel route to avoid a location in an area, a second UAV (e.g., which may have additional sensors and/or recording capabilities) may be sent to collect updated travel related data regarding the location. The updated travel related data (e.g., which may indicate that there is a new obstacle, a source of magnetic interference, a wind, etc. at the location) may be utilized for planning future travel routes for deliveries.
