For the problem of delivering a package from a source node to a destination node in a graph using a set of drones, we study the setting where the movements of each drone are restricted to a certain subgraph of the given graph. We consider…
This paper investigates the optimal infrastructure planning and order assignment problem of an on-demand food-delivery platform with a mixed fleet of drones and human couriers. The platform has two delivery modes: (a) ground delivery and…
We propose a novel context-aware drone delivery framework for optimizing package delivery through skyway networks in smart cities. We reformulate the problem of finding an optimal drone service delivery pathway as a more congruent and…
We introduce and study a new cooperative delivery problem inspired by drone-assisted package delivery. We consider a scenario where a drone, en route to deliver a package to a destination (a point on the plane), unexpectedly loses…
Problem definition: Drones, despite being acknowledged as a transformative force in the city logistics sector, are unable to execute the \textit{last-meter delivery} (unloading goods directly to customers' doorsteps) due to airspace…
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have drastically gained popularity in various Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications to improve the safety and efficiency of transportation systems. In this context, the combination of ground…
Collaboration between drones and trucks in a last-mile delivery system offers numerous benefits and reduces many challenges of the traditional delivery system. Here, we introduce Drone-Delivery Packing Problem, where a set of parcels,…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have significant practical advantages for delivering packages, and many logistics companies have begun deploying UAVs for commercial package deliveries. To deliver packages quickly and cost-effectively, the…
The adoption of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for last-mile deliveries will affect the energy productivity of package delivery and require new methods to understand the associated energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.…
In an era of rapid urbanization and e-commerce growth, efficient parcel delivery methods are crucial. This paper presents a detailed study of the aerodynamics and sensing analysis of drones for parcel delivery. Utilizing Computational Fluid…
In this paper, we consider same-day delivery with vehicles and drones. Customers make delivery requests over the course of the day, and the dispatcher dynamically dispatches vehicles and drones to deliver the goods to customers before their…
Using drones for communications and transportation is drawing great attention in many practical scenarios, such as package delivery and providing additional wireless coverage. However, the increasing demand for UAVs from industry and…
The increasing demand for fast and cost effective last mile delivery solutions has catalyzed significant advancements in drone based logistics. This research describes the development of an AI integrated drone delivery system, focusing on…
Advanced technological breakthroughs and exceptional levels of innovation are enhancing the capabilities and potential of autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones), and in so doing attracting the interest of a broader swath of…
Given a fleet of drones with different speeds and a set of package delivery requests, the collaborative delivery problem asks for a schedule for the drones to collaboratively carry out all package deliveries, with the objective of…
Combining an energy-efficient drone with a high-capacity truck for last-mile package delivery can benefit operators and customers by reducing delivery times and environmental impact. However, directly integrating drone flight dynamics into…
We propose a novel framework for swarm-based drone delivery services with in-flight energy recharging. The framework aims to enhance the delivery time of multiple packages by reducing the number of stops and recharging times at intermediate…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, have emerged as a promising mode of fast, energy-efficient, and cost-effective package delivery. A considerable number of works have studied different aspects of drone package delivery…
With the recent technological innovation, unmanned aerial vehicles, known as drones, have found numerous applications including package and parcel delivery for shippers. Drone delivery offers benefits over conventional ground-based vehicle…
We consider the problem of optimizing the distribution operations at a drone hub that dispatches drones to different geographic locations generating stochastic demands for medical supplies. Drone delivery is an innovative method that…
