How reliable does a delivery drone have to be? [1] When a delivery drone fails, it can severely impact the people near it. However, setting a concrete reliability goal for delivery drones is not easy. Multiple sensors on the drone can fail at any moment, leading to dangerous situations. Companies need to take costs, public safety and technological options into consideration when setting a reliability goal.
Logistic deliveries with Drones. State of the art of practice and research. [2] In this paper, the current status of delivery drones is discussed. The authors look at previous tests with drones within the medical and logistic sections. The current state of the research regarding drones is also evaluated. The authors conclude that drones are only able to replace traditional transport methods in very special situations, as there are still too many negatives for drone delivery to work perfectly.
Analysis of Amazon Prime Air UAV Delivery Service. [3] This paper analyses the status of the Amazon Prime Air drones. Different aspects of the drone are discussed, such as its specifications, the delivery costs using the drones and the current regulations concerning drones.
Energy use and life cycle greenhouse gas emissions of drones for commercial package delivery [4] In this paper the energy consumption and the greenhouse emmissions of a delivery drone system is discussed.
Strategic Design for Delivery with Trucks and Drones [5] This paper elaborates an investigation where multiple drones are deployed from trucks to deliver packages, and compare this to the case where only trucks are used to deliver packages.
Coordinated logistics with a truck and a drone [6] In this paper the efficiency of a system where a drone departs and returns from a moving truck to deliver a package is investigated.
Drone Delivery Models for Healthcare [7] This paper investigates the use of delivery drones specifically for healthcare applications. Especially for developing countries this could be interesting since only a third of all Africans live within 2 kilometres of a road that is functional all year. Deploying drones for delivery could thus potentially save lives.
Framework for Autonomous Movement of Drones [8] In this paper a test is elaborated how good the delivery by drone is. Practical considerations such as electromagnetic interference, weather conditions, range, capacity and construction are all elaborated.
