Abstract:
Delivery drones have developed into a potentially feasible option for a multitude of industries and uses, such as e-commerce, logistics, and emergency services. The primary objective of employing delivery drones is to automate the delivery process in order to increase efficiency and save expenses. The ability of delivery drones to avoid gridlock and get at the location quickly is a significant advantage. In particular for remote or difficult-to-reach places, this can considerably cut down on delivery time and expense. Last but not least, delivery drones can be employed in emergency services to

A delivery service using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has potential as a future business opportunity, due to its speed, safety and low-environmental impact. To operate a UAV delivery network, a management system is required to optimize UAV delivery routes.

Optimal routes per UAV are determined by minimizing delivery distances considering the maximum range and loading capacity of the UAV. In order to accomplish this, we propose an algorithm with four steps. First

For the traditional last-kilometer delivery, commodities are sent from the distribution center to the distribution transfer station, which are then delivered by the couriers from the distribution transfer station to the consumers. This single distribution channel cannot prioritize services for consumers closer to the distribution center, resulting in a waste of distribution resources. To deal with the last-kilometer delivery problem, this paper attempts to build a dual-channel distribution system consisting of UAVs and couriers. And the impact of the market allocation proportion on the expecte

Abstract:
Compared with traditional vehicles delivery, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) delivery can reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, which benefits environmental sustainability. Besides, UAVs can overcome traffic restrictions, which are the big obstacle in parcel delivery. In reality, there are two kinds of most popular traffic restrictions, vehicle-type restriction, and half-side traffic. We propose a mixed-integer (0-1 linear) green routing model with these two kinds of traffic restrictions for UAVs to exploit the environmental aspects of the use of UAVs in logistics. A genetic al

Abstract:
Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are becoming a common tool for aerial sensing applications. Nevertheless, sensed data need further processing before becoming useful information. This processing requires large computing power and time before delivery. In this paper, we present a parallel architecture that includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a small embedded computer on board, a communication link to the Internet, and a cloud service with the aim to provide useful real-time information directly to the end-users. The potential of parallelism as a solution in remote sensing has not been addre

Abstract:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or drones, have recently become a favorable solution for fast parcel delivery due to their maneuverability and advances in navigation technologies. With the limitation of battery capacity and payload of drones, it is crucial to consider both efficiency and cost while conducting the tasks. Meanwhile, UAVs should not collide with each other while traveling to customers. In this article, we propose a UAV parcel delivery system involving deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach for collision avoidance and a genetic algorithm for route optimization. Specifically,

BACKGROUND: According to the 2019 annual report by Fire and Disaster Management Agency (FDMA) in Japan, the survival rate of patients with Out-of-Hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who were rescued by Automated External Defibrillators (AED) was 6.2 times higher than those who were not treated appropriately. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have been evaluated as the means of delivering medical equipment and goods. This study was therefore designed to evaluate the effectiveness of UAV technology applied to AED delivery through a systematic review methodology.

However, the inherent delivery ability of crowdsourced couriers and the limited battery capacity of UAVs make them hard to solely meet the rapidly increasing instant delivery demands.

The instability of the geopolitical situation due to the high terrorist danger leads to the need to take into account at the planning stage the capabilities of intruders to perform UAV flight missions. A general method for analyzing the process of cargo delivery by UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to hard-to-reach areas during emergencies has been proposed. This method allows for the evaluation of UAV effectiveness based on the probability of successful cargo delivery within a specified time limit. The method is based on applying topological transformation techniques to stochastic networks. The
