Optimization of a truck-drone in tandem delivery network using k-means and genetic algorithm

Abstract: Abstract:Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness of implementing unmanned aerial delivery vehicles in delivery networks. We investigate the notion of the reduced overall delivery time and energy for a truck-drone network by comparing the in-tandem system with a stand-alone delivery effort. The objectives are (1) to investigate the time and energy associated to a truck-drone delivery network compared to standalone truck or drone, (2) to propose an optimization algorithm that deter… Show more

“…Mourelo and others [29] used the TSP model; in comparison to other articles mentioned, they proposed an optimization algorithm to determine the optimum number of launch sites and locations that have delivery requirements with drones and trucks. They reduced delivery times and determined that this technology outperforms trucks in energy efficiencies when they are delivered to one hundred customers in a delivery distance of 100 km.…”

“…The first generation was able to move a distance of 1 km to deliver blood samples to a laboratory across the river at Bonn. They tested the second generation of drones for urgent delivery of medication and other necessary materials to Juist, one of Germany's remote North Sea Islands, for almost three months [14]. DHL tested the third generation Parcelcopter from January-March 2016, for delivery of necessary medicines and supporting material between automated skyports in two Bavarian Alpine villages.…”

“…Использование беспилотных летательных аппаратов дешевле, чем спутниковые технологии дистанционного зондирования Земли (ERS) и пилотируемые самолёты в авиационных операциях. Возможность запрограммировать БЛА на полёт по маршруту и, при необходимости, зависать над исследуемой территорией, является огромным преимуществом [13,14].…”
