Coordination of local and global aerial traffic has become a legal and technological bottleneck as the number of unmanned vehicles in the common airspace continues to grow. To meet this challenge, automation and decentralization of control…

This research has addressed three critical challenges inherent in the implementation of drone delivery systems, namely, optimizing battery charging station placement, solving the shortest path problem for drones within their single battery…

Joint parcel delivery by trucks and drones has enjoyed significant attention for some time, as the advantages of one delivery method offset the disadvantages of the other. This paper focuses on the vehicle routing problem with drones and…

The coordination among drones and ground vehicles for last-mile delivery has gained significant interest in recent years. In this paper, we study \textit{multiple drone delivery scheduling problem(MDSP) \cite{Betti_ICDCN22} for last-mile…

Aerial drones offer a distinct potential to reduce the delivery time and energy consumption for the delivery of time-sensitive and small products. However, there is still a need in the relevant industry to understand the performance of…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are increasingly being used to deliver goods from vendors to customers. To safely conduct these operations at scale, drones are required to broadcast position information as codified in remote…

Recent advancements in unmanned aerial vehicles, also known as drones, have motivated logistics to use drones for multiple operations. Collaboration between drones and trucks in a last-mile delivery system has numerous benefits and reduces…

Cargo drones are designed to carry payloads with predefined shape, size, and/or mass. This lack of flexibility requires a fleet of diverse drones tailored to specific cargo dimensions. Here we propose a new reconfigurable drone based on a…

Future unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) will be shared by multiple users and will have to operate in conditions where their fully-autonomous function is required. Calculation of a drones trajectory will be important but optimal…

Modern wireless traffic demand pushes Internet Service Providers to develop effective strategies to improve user experience. Since deploying dense Base Stations (BSs) is not cost efficient, an alternative is to deploy autonomous drones to…

Drones are currently seen as a viable way for improving the distribution of parcels in urban and rural environments, while working in coordination with traditional vehicles like trucks. In this paper we consider the parallel drone…

With the advancements achieved in drones' flexibility, low cost, and high efficiency, they obtain huge application opportunities in various industries, such as aerial delivery and future communication networks. However, the increasing…

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…

In the context of Intelligent Transportation Systems and the delivery of goods, new technology approaches need to be developed in order to cope with certain challenges that last mile delivery entails, such as navigation in an urban…

Demand for fast and economical parcel deliveries in urban environments has risen considerably in recent years. A framework envisions efficient last-mile delivery in urban environments by leveraging a network of ride-sharing vehicles, where…

We propose a novel framework for the allocation of drone swarms for delivery services known as Swarm-based Drone-as-a-Service (SDaaS). The allocation framework ensures minimum cost (aka maximum profit) to drone swarm providers while meeting…

Drones have attracted growing interest in last-mile delivery due to their potential to significantly reduce costs and enhance operational flexibility, particularly in areas of sparse and uncertain demand where traditional truck delivery…

Thanks to their fast delivery, reduced traffic restrictions, and low manpower need, drones have been increasingly deployed to deliver time-critical materials, such as medication, blood, and exam kits, in emergency situations. This paper…

Recent years have seen tremendous advancements in the area of autonomous payload delivery via unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones. However, most of these works involve delivering the payload at a predetermined location using its GPS…

In a near future drones are likely to become a viable way of distributing parcels in a urban environment. In this paper we consider the parallel drone scheduling traveling salesman problem, where a set of customers requiring a delivery is…
