Problems solved by technology

However, trucks are not always suitable for drone operations while driving or at customer locations, as parking is prohibited in some areas
[0007] Therefore, there are still many problems in the existing truck and UAV cooperative distribution technology solution, which cannot meet the growing distribution demand

Embodiment Construction

[0044]In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application.

[0045] This application considers that in a distribution scenario with rough roads and inconvenient traffic, trucks are not suitable for delivering goods on the ground. To improve delivery efficiency, it is necessary to minimize truck movement while using multiple drones to deliver most of the goods in the air. At this point, trucks should abandon their original commodity delivery function and serve as an auxiliary tool to broaden the scope of drone services. If the truck is not performing the task of delivering goods, it is necessary to select a reasonable set of stops at non-cust...

Abstract

The invention discloses a truck and unmanned aerial vehicle cooperative distribution method, which is applied to a truck and unmanned aerial vehicle cooperative distribution network, and comprises the following steps: firstly, establishing a total distribution cost target function including truck distribution cost and unmanned aerial vehicle distribution cost, and then representing a sequence of accessing fixed stops by trucks by truck vectors; a customer vector is used for representing the customer service sequence of the unmanned aerial vehicle, an unmanned aerial vehicle vector is used for representing the number of customers served by the unmanned aerial vehicle in each flight, and a three-dimensional vector-based truck and unmanned aerial vehicle collaborative distribution solution is constructed; and finally, an improved meta-heuristic algorithm is adopted, an optimal truck and unmanned aerial vehicle cooperative distribution solution is searched through successive iteration until an iteration termination condition is reached, and the optimal truck and unmanned aerial vehicle cooperative distribution solution is output. According to the technical scheme, movement of the truck is greatly reduced, and meanwhile the total cost is reduced through the distribution potential of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of logistics and distribution, and in particular relates to a method for coordinated distribution of trucks and drones. Background technique [0002] In recent years, as an emerging technology with broad market prospects, drones have been gradually applied to many technical fields. In the industrial field, drones can be used for regular inspections of infrastructure; in post-disaster rescue, drones can monitor disaster-affected areas in real time and provide information for risk assessment; especially in the field of transportation, drones provide logistics companies with a A delivery method that can deliver goods more efficiently and is not affected by traffic congestion. Therefore, the application of drone technology in the process of commodity distribution has attracted more and more attention from logistics companies. [0003] Compared with ground vehicles such as trucks, drones can take any ...
