Assessment of Parcel Delivery Systems Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Phase III)

项目名称：	Assessment of Parcel Delivery Systems Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Phase III)
摘要：	The project will evaluate alternative parcel delivery methods that use UAVs. The different methods to be evaluated include UAVs operating independent from ground vehicle delivery, mobile depots where ground vehicles are equipped with UAVs that aid in the delivery process, and data driven approaches where the UAV provides information on the traffic state to improve vehicle route choice and UAV deployment decisions. The delivery systems will be evaluated under different levels of demand and considering different UAV capabilities in terms of range and allowable parcel size. The current objectives of the project include assessment of different parcel delivery systems that exploit drone traffic monitoring and delivery capabilities. Specifically, the research team is developing open loop control algorithms for adaptive drone deployment and truck routing. The resulting strategies are compared against exiting delivery mechanisms that do not incorporate traffic congestion. As an extension for this project, the team will evaluate novel probabilistic modeling procedures as well as techniques for estimating the probability of non-recurrent congestion at incident prone locations.
