Humanitarian logistics aims to reduce the arrival time of relief goods and optimize services in disaster-affected regions. This paper introduces a multi-objective hybrid truck-drone routing problem with pickup and delivery services, considering reliability (MHTDRP-PD-R) to enhance relief operations within humanitarian logistics. The model is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming problem with the simultaneous goals of minimizing transportation time and maximizing reliability through routing and inventory decisions made by multiple trucks and drones. An adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) algorithm, coupled with heuristic technique, is developed to tackle the problem. The ALNS algorithm refines initial solutions through destroy and repair operators, integrated with multi-objective optimization methods to create a unified objective function. Small and large-scale test problems are then employed to evaluate solution quality using multi-objective optimization. The calculation results show the superiority of the developed ALNS integrated with the ε-constraint method regarding the objective value and solution time.
