Abstract

The logistics and delivery industry is facing challenges such as high transportation costs, difficulty in meeting customer demands, and environmental concerns. However, the integration of drone and autonomous vehicle technology can address these challenges by reducing transportation costs, increasing speed and reliability of delivery, and improving efficiency. The use of drones and autonomous vehicles can bring significant benefits such as increased efficiency, cost savings, improved safety, increased accessibility, and real-time tracking. Despite the potential benefits, there are still regulatory, technical, and financial barriers to overcome before a widespread adoption of these technologies. The use of drones and autonomous vehicles in the logistics and delivery industry is rapidly growing, with companies like Amazon, UPS, DHL actively experimenting with the use of these technologies. However, there are several challenges and limitations that must be overcome before they can be widely adopted, such as safety and regulatory requirements, weather and environmental conditions, battery life and range, navigation, and public perception.

无人机和自动驾驶汽车在物流和配送中的应用

物流和快递行业正面临着运输成本高、难以满足客户需求和环境问题等挑战。然而，无人机和自动驾驶汽车技术的整合可以通过降低运输成本、提高交付速度和可靠性以及提高效率来解决这些挑战。无人机和自动驾驶汽车的使用可以带来显著的好处，如提高效率、节省成本、提高安全性、增加可达性和实时跟踪。尽管有潜在的好处，但在广泛采用这些技术之前，仍有监管、技术和财务方面的障碍需要克服。无人机和自动驾驶汽车在物流和快递行业的应用正在迅速增长，亚马逊、UPS、DHL等公司都在积极尝试使用这些技术。然而，在它们被广泛采用之前，必须克服一些挑战和限制，例如安全和监管要求、天气和环境条件、电池寿命和续航里程、导航和公众认知。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
