Abstract:

To address the challenges of multi-modal vehicle coordination and dynamic scheduling in emergency supply delivery for mountain forest fires, this study proposes an optimized route planning method for emergency supply distribution. Considering factors such as mountainous road network structures, demand urgency, motorcycle and drone participation, and air-ground collaborative delivery, a dynamic collaborative truck-drone-motorcycle route optimization model for mountain forest fire emergency supply delivery is constructed, aiming to minimize delivery time. An improved adaptive large neighborhood search (IALNS) algorithm with a repair operator is designed to solve the model, and it is compared with traditional ALNS and tabu search algorithms(TSA). Research findings indicate: The proposed model and algorithm are applicable to emergency supply delivery in mountainous forest fire scenarios. The IALNS outperforms both ALNS and TSA. Dynamic coordination strategies yield superior results compared to static coordination, reducing the total delivery time by 2.49% to 25.75%. Leveraging the advantages of motorcycles and drones is essential for establishing an optimized multi-vehicle collaborative delivery model.
