Energy consumption models for delivery drones: A comparison and assessment

Juan Zhang et al.

Summary: Energy consumption is a critical constraint for drone delivery operations to achieve their full potential. This paper provides a uniform framework to facilitate understanding different drone energy consumption models and emphasizes the importance of careful model selection. More research, especially empirical research, is needed to ensure the accuracy of selected models in reflecting delivery drone designs and uses.

Drone Routing in a Time-Dependent Network: Toward Low-Cost and Large-Range Parcel Delivery

Hailong Huang et al.

Summary: This article introduces a new method that proposes drones to "ride" public transportation vehicles for parcel delivery, aiming to solve the issue of being unable to deliver parcels over long distances due to limited flight range of drones. It presents a solution for planning drone routes in the public transportation network, achieving a significant expansion of the delivery area through the construction of a multimodal network.

Electric Vehicle Route Optimization Under Time-of-Use Electricity Pricing

Andy Ham et al.

Summary: This study proposes a solution for electric vehicle routing under TOU pricing, aiming to minimize electricity costs by cleverly shifting charging and adjusting duration. By combining mixed integer linear programming and constraint programming models, the study demonstrates a 3.1% average reduction in electricity costs without compromising other objectives. Providing benchmarking instances and CPLEX source codes can help promote related research and accelerate the adoption of energy-efficient scheduling by autonomous taxi companies.
