Abstract
We study parcel consolidation within the context of last-mile delivery, employing both a vehicle and a companion drone to efficiently serve customers across multiple time periods. We present a mixed-integer program and an optimization-based heuristic to address large-scale instances. The efficacy of our methodology is assessed through computational experiments on randomly generated instances, focusing on a residential network in Amherst, Massachusetts.
