Abstract

Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), has been considered the future of air transport for applications in the context of logistic operations. They can be used with trucks in an operation that leverage the advantages and disadvantages of each other, a problem known as Routing Problem with Drones (RP-D) in an operational research perspective. Recently, solution methods have been proposed to RP-D, but there is a valuable opportunity to develop a structured methodology in this field. This paper proposes a conceptual model from an analytical comparison of state-of-art metaheuristics, according to a sweep literature review. This conceptual model proposed consider the exact solution in small instances because can guarantee optimal solution and metaheuristic approach in not small instances, because can bring good solution in a reasonable time. This methodology is not meant to be complete but can be used to decide the best approach according to the size of the instance and can be enhanced by other recent methods as hybridization and artificial intelligence approaches.
