In recent times, the popularity of food delivery services has hugely increased. This study delves into the prospect of employing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for food delivery. In particular, the context of the application under examination is the campus area of the University of Calabria, where the canteens play a crucial role as food providers for students and employees. A bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model is formulated, with the aim of finding the optimal routes to serve customers. The goal is to minimize travel distances and travel time, enhancing overall process efficiency. The \(\varepsilon \) -constraint approach is used to solve the problem. The preliminary results obtained are promising and indicate the potential effectiveness of using drones for food delivery, within the university campus setting.

摘要

In recent times, the popularity of food delivery services has hugely increased. This study delves into the prospect of employing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for food delivery. In particular, the context of the application under examination is the campus area of the University of Calabria, where the canteens play a crucial role as food providers for students and employees. A bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model is formulated, with the aim of finding the optimal routes to serve customers. The goal is to minimize travel distances and travel time, enhancing overall process efficiency. The \(\varepsilon \) -constraint approach is used to solve the problem. The preliminary results obtained are promising and indicate the potential effectiveness of using drones for food delivery, within the university campus setting.
