Research on Optimization of"UAV-Truck"Distribution Path
In order to effectively improve the"last mile"distribution efficiency,a joint"UAV-truck"delivery model considering road congestion index is proposed.Firstly,the truck delivery points are selected by categorizing the customer points with the improved K-means algorithm.Then the road congestion index is considered and the multi-truck delivery path is optimized based on the mileage saving method.Then the UAV flight route is determined by the improved simulated annealing algorithm.Finally,take 80 residential areas in Zhengzhou for example,compared with truck distribution alone,the distribution cost decreased by 110 yuan,or about 13.78%.The results show that the joint UAV-truck distribution model can effectively reduce the distribution cost,and the solution algorithm is efficient and more suitable for realistic distribution scenarios,which provides a theoretical reference for the distribution of materials during the new era.
