This paper applies the cooperative delivery mode of trucks synchronized with drones to
humanitarian logistics (HVRP-SD), considers the impact of time-varying weather conditions …

We propose a neural network (NN) approach that yields approximate solutions for high-
dimensional optimal control (OC) problems and demonstrate its effectiveness using …

The increasing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) applications in urban environments pose
challenges for safe and efficient low altitude air traffic management. As an essential enabler …

A critical component in the public health response to pandemics is the ability to determine
the spread of diseases via diagnostic testing kits. Currently, diagnostic testing kits …

We propose a novel failure-aware reactive UAV delivery service composition framework. A
skyway network infrastructure is presented for the effective provisioning of services in urban …
