摘要

The drone-truck collaborative delivery system has emerged as a promising logistics paradigm with significant potential for improving efficiency. This study formulates a mixed integer programming model for the multi-dropoff flying sidekick traveling salesman problem (MD-FSTSP) to minimize total delivery time. We propose a two-stage optimization algorithm featuring: (1) a list-based adaptive temperature control strategy that improves upon traditional large neighborhood search by enhancing parameter attenuation in generating initial routes; and (2) a drone range-constrained segmentation strategy that decomposes global paths into feasible sub-paths with local search refinements. Experimental validation using TSPLIB benchmark data and parameter sensitivity analysis shows its superior solution accuracy and convergence speed compared to the existing methods.
