Highlights We present a review of the recent contributions on drone-aided routing problems. We provide a description of the technological background. We focus on problems arising in parcel delivery and provide a new classification. We give some insights into current research trends. We outline possible future research directions.
Abstract The interest in using drones in various applications has grown significantly in recent years. The reasons are related to the continuous advances in technology, especially the advent of fast microprocessors, which support intelligent autonomous control of several systems. Photography, construction, and monitoring and surveillance are only some of the areas in which the use of drones is becoming common. Among these, last-mile delivery is one of the most promising areas. In this work we focus on routing problems with drones, mostly in the context of parcel delivery. We survey and classify the existing works and we provide perspectives for future research.
