Hybrid optimisation for coordinating autonomous trucks and drones

该项目旨在为控制自动驾驶卡车和无人机车队建立分析系统，这些卡车和无人机协同工作，运送零售商品和救灾物资。该项目预计将开发新的数学和人工智能算法，用于车辆的路线和调度，以及在交通状况变化时实时指导车辆之间的多式联运货物。该项目的预期成果包括新的理论和技术，使中央计算机能够远程控制自动驾驶车队，以实现最高效率。运输和物流的好处包括通过降低成本和交货时间来提高货运效率。

This project aims to build analytics for controlling a fleet of autonomous trucks and drones working in tandem to deliver retail goods and disaster relief. This project expects to develop new mathematical and artificial intelligence algorithms for routing and scheduling the vehicles and for directing the multi-modal transfer of goods between vehicles in real-time as traffic conditions change. Expected outcomes of this project include new theories and technologies that enable a central computer to remotely control the autonomous fleet for maximum efficiency. Benefits in transport and logistics include improved freight productivity through reducing costs and delivery times.
