摘要
Drones can play a game-changing role in reducing both cost and time in the context of last-mile deliveries. This paper addresses the last-mile delivery problem from a complex system viewpoint, where the collective performance of the drones is investigated. We consider a last-mile delivery system with a tradable permit model (TPM) for airspace use. Typically, in other research works regarding last-mile delivery drones, a fully cooperative centralized scenario is contemplated. In our approach, due to the TPM, the agents (i.e. drones) need to compete for airspace permits in a distributed manner. We simulate the system and evaluate how different parameters, such as the arrival rate and airspace dimensions, impact the system behavior in terms of the cost and time needed by the drones to acquire fiight permits, and the airspace utilization. We use a simplified simulation model, where the agents' strategies are naive, and the drones' fiight dynamics are not accounted for. Nevertheless, the simulation's level of detail is adequate for capturing interesting properties from the agents' collective behavior, as our results support. The obtained results show that the system's performance is satisfactory, even with naive agents and under high traffic conditions. Moreover, a real-world implementation of our competitive decentralized approach would lead to advantages, such as fast permit transactions, simple computational infrastructures, and error resilience.
