Abstract: Drones can play a game-changing role in reducing both cost and time in the context of last-mile deliveries. This paper addresses the last-mile delivery problem from a complex system viewpoint, where the collective performance of the drones is investigated. We consider a last-mile delivery system with a tradable permit model (TPM) for airspace use. Typically, in other research works regarding lastmile delivery drones, a fully cooperative centralized scenario is contemplated. In our approach, due to the TPM, the… Show more

“…Our tradable permit model for last-mile delivery [15] enables large-scale operations with multiple layers in altitude, each one segmented to form four-dimensional geo-fencing units. Hence, many massive machine type communications problems can arise, as drones share the same media for communication.…”

“…some decisions must be taken only after the realization of an event. In order to handle the complexity of the LMDD, our solution [15] proposes a hierarchical strategy as more promising. The decision-making can be described from the player perspective and its dynamics with the system and other players with three phases:…”

“…To assert the feasibility of such an approach, we designed a multi-agent system simulation of the TPM scheme for UAV. In [15], we simulate players in a tradable permit model under different arrival rates, i.e. number of players competing in the auction, by focusing on two main perspectives: a) an assessment on the time and cost agents have to complete their mission; and b) an estimate of the effective airspace usage.…”

“…There are many ways to integrate the competition in the VRP, however, the most direct approach is by modeling the cost of the permits as part of the distances to be traversed by a UAV. Verri et al [15] shows that players can obtain routes close to the optimal length and cost even in regions with very dense competition. In other words, we expect the players can focus only on the neighboring permits it desires, ignoring most of the other permits.…”
