Abstract

With the improvement of technology and the popularization of 5G network, the use of UAVs is becoming more and more widespread, and the delivery mode of "delivery vehicle + UAV" has become a new and effective delivery mode in the event of an accident. It is very important to use the joint delivery of "delivery vehicle + UAV" to deliver emergency supplies to the designated location in the shortest time possible in case of accidents. In this paper, we focus on the optimization strategy of the distribution mode under the condition of the known distance of the distribution location and other information, and make the optimal distribution route plan and select the optimal starting point according to the known data, so as to improve the efficiency of the distribution of emergency materials. First of all, we adopt the mode of single-truck distribution and solve for the minimum distance in the case of single-truck distribution. On this basis, the transport path of the transport vehicle is solved by using a transport vehicle with an unmanned aerial vehicle to assist in distribution, with other conditions remaining unchanged.
