Dataset for the van-drone routing problem with multiple delivery drop points.

ABSTRACT: The distribution of parcels is one of the most complex and challenging processes in supply chain execution. Lately, the development of both electronic and quick commerce has driven carriers and courier operators to identify more effective methods for express parcel delivery. To this end, the development of efficient distribution networks that aim in increasing customer experience while maintaining low operating costs is significant importance both for researchers as well as for practitioners. This article presents a dataset for the Van Drone Routing Problem with Multiple Delivery Points and Cooperation (VDRPMDPC). The latter examines a van-drone team from an operational viewpoint, where a van moves along a road network while the drone egress and ingress from a van to a nearby delivery loca
