Delivery by Drone: Estimating Market Potential and Access to Consumers from Existing Amazon Infrastruture
Abstract Is drone delivery feasible? There has been plenty of discussion and investigation into this topic, and with the rising prominence of technology into society, the realization that drones can be used to deliver goods to consumers is growing. This study investigates this issue by analyzing Amazon Fulfillment Centers to uncover their suitability in serving as potential drone launching facility. Geoprocessing and multi-level buffer analysis are used to help investigate the feasibility of drone delivery in different areas of the United States.
