Companies such as Amazon, Google, the United Parcel Service (UPS), DHL, and Alibaba have been running high-profile experiments testing drone delivery systems, and the development of such systems reached a milestone when the first commercial drone delivery approved by the Federal Aviation Administration took place on July 17, 2015.

  • Strategic Network Design for Parcel Delivery with Drones Under Competition
    Strategic Network Design for Parcel Delivery with Drones under Competition Gohram Baloch, Fatma Gzara Department of Management Sciences, University of Waterloo, ON Canada N2L 3G1 [email protected] [email protected] This paper studies the economic desirability of UAV parcel delivery and its effect on e-retailer distribution network while taking into account technological limitations, government regulations, and customer behavior. We consider an e-retailer offering multiple same day delivery services including a fast UAV service and develop a distribution network design formulation under service based competition where the services offered by the e-retailer not only compete with the stores (convenience, grocery, etc.), but also with each other. Competition is incorporated using the Multinomial Logit market share model. To solve the resulting nonlinear mathematical formulation, we develop a novel logic-based Benders decomposition approach. We build a case based on NYC, carry out extensive numerical testing, and perform sensitivity analyses over delivery charge, delivery time, government regulations, technological limitations, customer behavior, and market size. The results show that government regulations, technological limitations, and service charge decisions play a vital role in the future of UAV delivery. Key words : UAV; drone; market share models; facility location; logic-based benders decomposition 1. Introduction Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones have been used in military applications as early as 1916 (Cook 2007). As the technology improved, their applications extended to surveillance and moni- toring (Maza et al. 2010, Krishnamoorthy et al. 2012), weather research (Darack 2012), delivery of medical supplies (Wang 2016, Thiels et al. 2015), and emergency response (Adams and Friedland 2011).

  • Logistics Challenges in a New Distribution Paradigm: Drone Delivery
    Logistics Challenges in a New Distribution Paradigm: Drone Delivery Connect Robotics Case Study André Alves Ferreira Sousa Conceição Thesis to obtain the Master of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering and Management Supervisor: Prof. Tânia Rodrigues Pereira Ramos Examination Committee Chairperson: Prof. Ana Paula Ferreira Dias Barbosa Póvoa Supervisor: Prof. Tânia Rodrigues Pereira Ramos Member of the committee: Prof. Inês Marques Proença November 2018 Acknowledgments “It always seems impossible until it's done.” - Nelson Mandela I would like to thank my professor, Tânia Ramos, for all the support and guidance throughout the development of this dissertation. To Raphael Stanzani and Eduardo Mendes, for allowing me the opportunity to study this phenomenon and for always making themselves available to help. To Hugo Ângelo, for providing me the data I needed to test my models, for his availability and for inviting me to visit Farmácia da Lajeosa and watch the delivery drone fly. To my father, mother, six siblings and four nephews, for giving me the stability needed to accomplish my goals and achieve academic success. To my girlfriend and her family, for making me part of the family even though I already have one. To my grandparents, that always believed in me and kept asking if I was an engineer already. Last but not least, to my friends and colleagues that fought this battle alongside me. i Abstract This dissertation analyses a new paradigm imposed by the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), commonly referred to as drones, in logistics and distribution processes. This work is motivated by a real case-study, where the company Connect Robotics, the first drone delivery provider in Portugal, wants to implement drone deliveries in their client, “Farmácia da Lajeosa”, which requires tackling the logistics challenges brought by the drones’ characteristics.

  • SMART Mobility Multi-Modal Freight Capstone Report
    SMART Mobility Multi-Modal Freight Capstone Report July 2020 (This Page Intentionally Left Blank) MULTIMODAL FREIGHT Foreword The U.S. Department of Energy’s Systems and Modeling for Accelerated Research in Transportation (SMART) Mobility Consortium is a multiyear, multi-laboratory collaborative, managed by the Energy Efficient Mobility Systems Program of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Vehicle Technologies Office, dedicated to further understanding the energy implications and opportunities of advanced mobility technologies and services. The first three-year research phase of SMART Mobility occurred from 2017 through 2019, and included five research pillars: Connected and Automated Vehicles, Mobility Decision Science, Multi-Modal Freight, Urban Science, and Advanced Fueling Infrastructure. A sixth research thrust integrated aspects of all five pillars to develop a SMART Mobility Modeling Workflow to evaluate new transportation technologies and services at scale. This report summarizes the work of the Multi-Modal Freight Pillar. The Multi Modal Freight Pillar’s objective is to assess the effectiveness of emerging freight movement technologies and understand the impacts of the growing trends in consumer spending and e-commerce on parcel movement considering mobility, energy, and productivity. For information about the other Pillars and about the SMART Mobility Modeling Workflow, please refer to the relevant pillar’s Capstone Report. i MULTIMODAL FREIGHT Acknowledgments This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), specifically the Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) under the Systems and Modeling for Accelerated Research in Transportation (SMART) Mobility Laboratory Consortium, an initiative of the Energy Efficient Mobility Systems (EEMS) Program.
