Abstract

This article introduces innovative model addressing the “Drone Routing Problem” within multifloor manufacturing sites. The focus aims on developing a strategy to minimize energy costs and reduce delivery times amidst variable spatial conditions. Factors such as facility architecture, dynamic production changes, and urban industrial infrastructure are analysed. The study incorporates environmental aspects, exploring the eco-efficiency of drone-based logistics in industrial settings within the context of sustainable development, city logistics data collection processes, a comprehensive understanding of effectiveness in the contemporary multifloor manufacturing complexes. This research highlights new perspectives for internal logistics optimization with drones while aligning environmentally conscious practices in sophisticated urban industrial infrastructure. The solution may significantly minimize the share of vehicle fleet in the area of production facility. Presented process may significantly reduce the level of traffic congestion in the cities where such production facilities are located, and may also become one of the elements promoting sustainable development.

在复杂城市产业基础设施中优化无人机物流

本文介绍了解决多层生产基地“无人机路线问题”的创新模型。重点是开发一种策略，以最大限度地降低能源成本，并减少在可变空间条件下的交货时间。分析了设施结构、动态生产变化和城市工业基础设施等因素。该研究结合了环境方面的因素，探索了可持续发展背景下工业环境中基于无人机的物流的生态效率，城市物流数据收集过程，以及对当代多层制造综合体有效性的全面理解。这项研究突出了利用无人机优化内部物流的新视角，同时将环保意识实践与复杂的城市工业基础设施相结合。该解决方案可以显著减少生产设施区域的车队份额。所提出的流程可以显著降低此类生产设施所在城市的交通拥堵水平，也可能成为促进可持续发展的要素之一。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
