Abstract(in English) In this paper, we consider the efficient transport of packages between logistics bases that pick up and deliver packages. Packages are collected at logistics bases and transported by drones to the nearest logistics base for delivery. When packages are transported by multiple drones, it is not efficient for each drone to visit all logistics bases, and thus it is desirable to visit frequently the logistics bases that handle the large number of packages. Therefore, in this paper, we consider a situation where there are two types of drones. One is drones that visit all logistics bases, and the other is drones that visit some logistics bases with a large number of packages. In this situation, we formulate the problem as a mixed integer linear programming problem to minimize the package delivery time. By solving this problem, we determine the logistics bases to visit frequently and the flight schedules of the drones. Through numerical experiments, we show that the proposed method can efficiently transport packages between the logistics bases.
