چکیده
Background: UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and SUGVs (Sidewalk Unmanned Ground are two prominent options to revolutionize last mile home delivery. However, there is no literature yet addressing a comprehensive assessment of them. To bridge this research gap, paper aimed compare in the context urban parcel delivery from practical, conceptual, technological, commercial, environmental perspective. Methodology: Based on structured web research, provided comparative status quo review these concepts. We introduced parameter-based cost calculus model estimate costs per shipment for each technology. detect key drivers, we applied one-way sensitivity analysis, as well “full factorial design experiment” approach. Results: These drivers both operations “number vehicles operator” “average beeline service radius”. From today’s commercial point view, our indicated better profitability SUGVs. technical regulatory developments may render different results future. As emit significantly less noise than UAVs, assume that have an additional advantage usage autonomous resident’s Conclusions: Both will influence viability unmanned services. Safety security aspects determine rules operator”. increase radius”, could profit mothership concepts while SUGV co-use existing public transport infrastructure.
