无人机车辆组合物流配送路径规划探讨

近年来无人机在各个领域的应用逐渐兴起,尤其是在物流运输领域发展迅速。在物流运输领域的应用主要是与车辆进行组合运输,国内外的学者针对无人机和车辆组合运输的路径规划问题进行了许多研究。主要论述了目前车辆和无人机组合运行的4种模式,包括车辆支持无人机运行模式、无人机支持车辆运行模式、无人机与车辆独立的运行模式、无人机和车辆同步的运行模式。探究了目前无人机和车辆组合路径规划问题考虑的因素,包括无人机电池电量、运送包裹数量和时间窗等。对有无人机参与的车辆路径规划问题的目标优化进行了总结,目前的研究主要分为3类,包括考虑最短配送时间、最小总成本和多目标规划。这些研究对未来无人机配送问题的研究具有重要的指导意义。

Theoretical discussion on the logistics route planning problem of UAV and vehicle combination

In recent years,the application of UAV in various fields has arisen,especially in the field of logistics and transportation.The four modes of the current combination of vehicle and UAV are mainly discussed.Those include the operation mode of vehicle supporting the UAV,the UAV supporting the vehicle,the UAV and the vehicle independent operation,and the UAV and the vehicle synchronization.The factors that are often considered in the current UAV and vehicle combination path planning problems are studied,including the battery power of drones,the number of packages shipped,and the time window.The goals optimization of vehicle routing problem with UAV participation are summarized.It is found that the current research is mainly divided into three categories:considering the shortest delivery time,the minimum total cost,and multi-objective planning.These studies have great guidance for future research of UAV distribution problem.
