Optimizing Drone Logistics: A Scoring Algorithm for Enhanced Decision Making across Diverse Domains in Drone Airlines

Abstract

The complexities of decision-making in drone airlines prove to be pivotal and challenging as the dynamic environment introduces variability and many decisions are conventionally static. This paper introduces an advanced decision-making system designed for the multifaceted landscape of drone applications. Our proposed system addresses various aspects, including drone assignment, safety zone sizing, priority determination, and more. The scoring model enhances adaptability in real-time scenarios, particularly highlighted by the dynamic adjustment. Based on the scenario concerning the definition of the safety zone, we have successfully applied this method and evaluated all potential scores. The user-friendly and intuitive configuration further augments the system’s accessibility, facilitating efficient deployment. In essence, the proposed system stands as an innovative approach with decision-making paradigms in the dynamic landscape of drone operations.
