This paper surveys the state-of-the-art optimization approaches in the civil application of
drone operations (DO) and drone-truck combined operations (DTCO) including construction …

Last year was the 25th anniversary of two seminal transportation hub location publications,
which appeared in 1986 in Transportation Science and Geographical Analysis. Though …

The e-commerce boom has increased the complexity of last-mile logistics operations in
urban environments. In this context, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as …

We determine the efficiency of a delivery system in which an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
provides service to customers while making return trips to a truck that is itself moving. In …

This paper proposes a Continuous Approximation (CA) model that designs the potentiality of
drones as a mode of transportation to supply emergency commodities in a disaster-affected …

This paper proposes a crowdsource-enabled system for urban parcel relay and delivery. We
consider cyclists and pedestrians as crowdsources who are close to customers and …

In this paper, we provide analytical support for the notion that it may be possible, via
operational adjustments alone, to significantly reduce emissions without significantly …

Historically, the three fundamental stages of the supply chain, procurement, production and
distribution, have been managed independently, buffered by large inventories. Increasing …

This paper is a survey of location-routing: a relatively new branch of locational analysis that
takes into account vehicle routing aspects. We propose a classification scheme and look at a …

There are no studies that model the potential effectiveness of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs) or drones to reduce CO 2 e lifecycle (including both utilization and vehicle phase) …
