DeepTransit: Optimizing Urban Package Delivery with Conveyor Network Simulation
This paper presents the development and analysis of simulation software designed to model an underground package delivery network utilizing conveyor belts in cities such as New York. The proposed system integrates with New York's subway network, addressing urban logistical challenges by efficiently handling large volumes of package, reducing costs, time, and environmental impact. The software simulates the operation of this system and considering factors such as delivery time, distance traveled, package delays, and heuristic efficiency. By executing experimental simulation techniques, mathematical models were constructed to relate various simulation parameters, resulting in an effective heuristic cost function for package routing.
