Outline of Final Research Achievements

We constructed and optimized hybrid delivery models for truck and drones. We have compared quantitatively the methods such as launching a drone from a truck and retrieving it at another location, launching drones from depot and retrieving it at a depot, and launching a drone from a truck and retrieving it at a depot. We developed mathematical programming algorithm combined with heuristics which gives a more accurate solution. The superior method from the viewpoint of calculation time as well as effectiveness of delivery plan is also presented. In addition, we considered a mathematical model for hybrid transportation of buses and trucks that mixed the parcels and passengers, which may combine with drone delivery.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

配送量の増加や配達員の不足、さらには地方における配送システムのあり方などが問題となっている中で、ドローンなどの補助配送を活用したトラック配送を検討した。山間地などでは、広範囲にわたる配送地域を効率よくカバーするために、さまざまな輸送形態を上手に組み合わせた方策を取り入れることは、地域の持続可能性を維持するためにも重要である。
また、旅客と荷物を混載したバスとトラックのハイブリッド輸送に関する数理モデルを考察し、ドローン配送との組み合わせにつなげるための検討を行った。
