本文估算了 Amazon.com, Inc. 提出的 Prime Air 配送系统的成本,该系统使用无人机技术将包裹运送到客户家门口。该论文提出了一个效益成本分析框架,通过对田纳西州查塔努加的 Prime Air 系统进行建模来检查无人机系统的劳动力节省技术。该模型考虑了美国联邦航空管理局 (FAA) 法规、无人机设计、物流和相关因素,以预测亚马逊如何设置和操作无人机系统。相对于地面交付,每个包裹交付的成本可节省三分之一或更多(不包括研发成本),这似乎是可行的。
This paper estimates the costs of the Prime Air delivery system proposed by Amazon.com, Inc. that uses drone technology to deliver packages to customers’ doorsteps. The paper sets forth a benefit-cost analytical framework to examine the labor-saving technology of the drone system by modeling the Prime Air system in Chattanooga, TN. The model addresses FAA regulations, drone design, logistics, and related factors to predict how Amazon might set up and operate the drone system. Cost savings per package delivered of one-third or more relative to ground delivery, exclusive of R & D costs, seem feasible.
