Solving the Multi-truck Single-Drone Routing Problem Using Ant Colony Optimization
摘要
This paper focuses on optimizing the co-operative delivery system using trucks and drones. Ant colony optimization (ACO) is used to find the optimal path between delivery stations and Nearest Neighbour Algorithm is used for the delivery done by drones to the customers. This is a mixed approach of the two algorithms and it has been used to minimize the distance based cost. Results suggest decrement in costs for larger networks.
