Drone-aided routing: A literature review

Macrina, G., Di Puglia Pugliese, L., Guerriero, F., & Laporte, G. · 2020

full-text

This review classifies drone-aided routing for parcel delivery, limited to papers from 2015 through May 2020. People use it as a table of contents for problem types. The card reports that classification and does not re-verify every paper inside it.

After a short technical background, it sorts routing problems that arise in parcel delivery under a new classification. It points to research trends and to directions that were still thin. The scope the authors state is operations-research work in that date window.

Social acceptance of medical delivery or urban air mobility is not the main subject. Papers after May 2020 are not included. Do not confuse a routing class in this review with a regulatory category.
