Collaborative Truck/Drone Routing Problem: An Application to Disaster Logistics

Abstract

This study focuses on collaborative UAV/UGV routing problem in emergency logistics aiming to optimize the coordinated delivery efforts of both vehicles during disaster situations. By using a mixed integer model the study identifies the best delivery points and assigns specific drones to transport medical supplies to designated emergency assembly points. The research methodically assesses how UAV speed, UGV stops and cluster numbers affect delivery time. The results show that increasing UAV speeds and reducing stops and clusters generally lead to deliveries but achieving the time requires a careful balance due to their complex interactions. The study suggests that strategic coordination between UAVs and UGVs can significantly improve the efficiency of emergency logistics systems potentially reducing response times in disaster relief and medical supply deliveries. In conclusion the model highlights the potential for enhancements, in emergency response capabilities that could help save lives and lessen disaster impacts. Future studies should consider adapting the model for conditions and unpredictable scenarios to ensure resilience against demands.
