We propose a novel framework for composing Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS) for delivery. Two composition approaches, i.e., sequential and parallel are designed considering the different behaviors of drone swarms. The proposed…

Mobility-on-Demand (MoD) systems have become a fixture in urban transportation networks, with the rapid growth of ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft. Ride-hailing is typically complemented with ridepooling options, which can reduce…

Autonomous trucks are expected to fundamentally transform the freight transportation industry. In particular, Autonomous Transfer Hub Networks (ATHN), which combine autonomous trucks on middle miles with human-driven on the first and last…

On-demand delivery has become increasingly popular around the world. Motivated by a large grocery chain store who offers fast on-demand delivery services, we model and solve a stochastic dynamic driver dispatching and routing problem for…

The global food delivery market provides many opportunities for AI-based services that can improve the efficiency of feeding the world. This paper presents the Cloud Kitchen platform as a decision-making tool for restaurants with food…

We study a fundamental cooperative message-delivery problem on the plane. Assume $n$ robots which can move in any direction, are placed arbitrarily on the plane. Robots each have their own maximum speed and can communicate with each other…

The drone delivery problem (DDP) has been introduced to include aerial vehicles in last-mile delivery operations to increase efficiency. However, the existing studies have not incorporated the communication quality requirements of such a…

Drone swarms are required for the simultaneous delivery of multiple packages. We demonstrate a multi-stop drone swarm-based delivery in a smart city. We leverage formation flying to conserve energy and increase the flight range of a drone…

In this paper, we present an approach to optimizing the last-mile delivery route of a truck using coordination with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). First, a traveling salesman problem is formulated to determine the truck's route. Then, a…

Last-mile delivery systems commonly propose the use of autonomous robotic vehicles to increase scalability and efficiency. The economic inefficiency of collecting accurate prior maps for navigation motivates the use of planning algorithms…

Electrifying demand-responsive transport systems need to plan the charging infrastructure carefully, considering the trade-offs of charging efficiency and charging infrastructure costs. Earlier studies assume a fully electrified fleet and…

This paper studies congestion-aware route-planning policies for Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) systems, whereby a fleet of autonomous vehicles provides on-demand mobility under mixed traffic conditions. Specifically, we first devise a…

We propose a novel robust composition framework for drone delivery services considering changes in the wind patterns in urban areas. The proposed framework incorporates the dynamic arrival of drone services at the recharging stations. We…

In most cities, transit consists solely of fixed-route transportation, whence the inherent limited Quality of Service for travellers in suburban areas and during off-peak periods. On the other hand, completely replacing fixed-route (FR)…

E-commerce has evolved with the digital technology revolution over the years. Last-mile logistics service contributes a significant part of the e-commerce experience. In contrast to the traditional last-mile logistics services, smart…

We propose a new stochastic emergency network design model that uses a fleet of drones to quickly deliver naxolone in response to opioid overdoses. The network is represented as a collection of M/G/K queuing systems in which the capacity K…

Rapid urbanization has led to a surge of customizable mobility demand in urban areas, which makes on-demand services increasingly popular. On-demand services are flexible while reducing the need for private cars, thus mitigating congestion…

Over the past few years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as drones, have been adopted as part of a new logistic method in the commercial sector called "last-mile delivery". In this novel approach, they are deployed alongside…

Electric vehicles (EVs) are being rapidly adopted due to their economic and societal benefits. Autonomous mobility-on-demand (AMoD) systems also embrace this trend. However, the long charging time and high recharging frequency of EVs pose…

The idea of deploying electric vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, to perform "last-mile" delivery in logistics operations has attracted increasing attention in the past few years. In this paper, we propose…
