Despite this potential, little work has gone into developing vehicle routing problems (VRPs) specifically for drone delivery scenarios. Existing VRPs are insufficient for planning drone deliveries: either multiple trips to the depot are not permitted, leading to solutions with excess drones, or the ...
This research is about the vehicle routing problem with drones, where a single drone is considered. The drone, which is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), is able to carry more than one package. There is not enough research available at the moment on the multi-package drone delivery. To en...
2.1. Electric ground vehicle routing problems Conrad and Figliozzi (2011) introduce a problem resembling EVRP. It can be considered a predecessor for both EVRP and the Green VRP (GVRP). The novelty of their research is in the use of a vehicle with a limited range that requires refueling ...
Recently, there has been a surge of interest, from both practitioners and academic researchers, that concerns the utilization of drones for civil applications. In this work, we are interested in studying the Vehicle Routing Problem with Drones (VRPD). In
The hybrid vehicle-drone routing problem for pick-up and delivery services 2019, Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies Citation Excerpt : Nonetheless, while the drone moves independently without the vehicle, a trailer can only be moved by connecting it to a truck. Lin (2011) presen...
delivery services for multiple customers within their capacity and endurance. This problem is known as the multivisits drone-vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery considering no-fly zones (MDVRPSPDNF). We built a discrete optimization model with the goal of minimizing the ...
This chapter provides an introduction to the field of routing problems and explains some general content, such as why there is a need for such problems. The vehicle routing problem and the pickup and delivery problem are presented as famous examples of node-oriented routing. The main differences...
The flying sidekick traveling salesman problem: optimization of drone-assisted parcel delivery Transport. Res. Part C: Emerg. Technol. (2015) D.Pisingeret al. A general heuristic for vehicle routing problems Comput. Oper. Res. (2007)
This paper presents a new formulation for a time window assignment vehicle routing problem where time windows are defined for multiple product segments. This two-stage stochastic optimization problem is solved by means of a fix-and-optimize based matheuristic. The first stage assigns product dependent...
