Multi-visit drone routing problem

The Multiple Flying Sidekicks Traveling Salesman Problem: Parcel Delivery with Multiple Drones

“…Another class of truck/UAV problems assume that only the UAVs may make deliveries, such as the multi-visit drone routing problem (MVDRP) proposed by Poikonen (2018) and the truck/drone tandems considered by Mathew et al (2015) and bin Othman et al (2017). Although not a parcel delivery application, Luo et al (2017) proposed a two-echelon ground vehicle and UAV cooperative routing problem in which a truck carries one UAV which is responsible for visiting one or more surveillance targets before returning to the truck.…”

Two-echelon urban deliveries using autonomous vehicles

“…In this context, unmanned electric transportation represents an excellent choice for city logistics. truck and drone delivery: one where the truck only serves as a mobile platform for launching and recovering the drone (Carlsson and Song 2017, Luo et al 2017, Yu et al 2018, Karak and Abdelghany 2019, Poikonen and Golden 2020, and a second system where the truck also serves customers (Murray and Chu 2015, Poikonen et al 2017, Wang et al 2017, Pugliese and Guerriero 2017, Schermer et al 2019a,b, Karak and Abdelghany 2019, Wang and Sheu 2019, Sacramento et al 2019, Poikonen et al 2019, Murray and Raj 2019.…”

Recent challenges in Routing and Inventory Routing: E‐commerce and last‐mile delivery

“…The setting is enriched in Dorling et al [50] by considering the effect of battery and payload weight on energy consumption. We refer to Wang and Sheu [107], Kitjacharoenchai et al [62], Karak and Abdelghany [61], Schermer et al [93], Sacramento et al [89], Agatz et al [2], Dell'Amico et al [47,48], Poikonen et al [81], and Poikonen and Golden [80] for the most recent studies on the VRPD. Ulmer and Thomas [99] study a problem where drones are used for same‐day delivery services.…”
