Closed-Loop Plan Governance for Dynamic Drone Delivery Supported by a Mobile Platform: Separating Planning Access, Plan Inertia, and a Shared Safety Guard

Dynamic drone delivery requires rules for retaining and revising released plans. We specify a closed-loop architecture separating ordinary replanning access, assignment-change penalties, and shared safety intervention, while explicitly identifying closed-gate task filling. Three role-differentiated drones and a mobile support platform are evaluated using demand and weather proxies on all 88 eligible holdout dates. Four policies cross always-open or event-gated access with fixed or adaptive inertia. A paired NoFill intervention removes ordinary closed-gate filling without disabling planned execution or safety checks. Full factorial effects and calendar-block uncertainty replace the original selected-contrast, independent-date analysis. With fixed inertia, the Original event-gated policy increases completion by 5.806 percentage points (seven-day block 95% interval: 4.016 to 7.601) but increases flight energy by 10.414 Wh per completed order. Without filling, its completion difference is −3.431 points (−5.187 to −2.005). Ordinary planning access and assignment changes remain lower. Incremental adaptive-inertia benefits under event-gated access are unresolved. The results identify a conditional architectural trade-off, not a pure replanning-frequency benefit. The fixed simulation window, transferred physical inputs, and unmodelled operational constraints limit inference beyond this setting.

Abstract

Dynamic drone delivery requires rules for retaining and revising released plans. We specify a closed-loop architecture separating ordinary replanning access, assignment-change penalties, and shared safety intervention, while explicitly identifying closed-gate task filling. Three role-differentiated drones and a mobile support platform are evaluated using demand and weather proxies on all 88 eligible holdout dates. Four policies cross always-open or event-gated access with fixed or adaptive inertia. A paired NoFill intervention removes ordinary closed-gate filling without disabling planned execution or safety checks. Full factorial effects and calendar-block uncertainty replace the original selected-contrast, independent-date analysis. With fixed inertia, the Original event-gated policy increases completion by 5.806 percentage points (seven-day block 95% interval: 4.016 to 7.601) but increases flight energy by 10.414 Wh per completed order. Without filling, its completion difference is −3.431 points (−5.187 to −2.005). Ordinary planning access and assignment changes remain lower. Incremental adaptive-inertia benefits under event-gated access are unresolved. The results identify a conditional architectural trade-off, not a pure replanning-frequency benefit. The fixed simulation window, transferred physical inputs, and unmodelled operational constraints limit inference beyond this setting.
