UAV Last-Mile Delivery Model For City Logistics

초록

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) show great promise for last-mile delivery due to their efficiency, low cost, environmental benefits, and contactless operation. However, challenges such as no-fly zone avoidance, fragile cargo handling, and strict motion constraints remain. This paper proposes a last-mile delivery model (LMDM) that integrates these factors—along with energy minimization—into UAV trajectory planning. To optimize the LMDM we propose a constraint aware evolutionary computation (EC) method in this paper.
