Abstract

The strategic development of the low-altitude economy requires efficient urban logistics solutions. The existing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) truck delivery system faces severe challenges in dealing with dynamic weather constraints and multi-agent coordination. This article proposes a neural network-based optimisation framework that integrates constrained K-means clustering and a three-stage neural architecture. In this work, a mathematical model for heterogeneous vehicle constraints considering time windows and UAV energy consumption is developed, and it is validated through reference to the Solomon benchmark’s arithmetic examples. Experimental results show that the Truck–Drone Cooperative Traveling Salesman Problem (TDCTSP) model reduces the cost by 21.3% and the delivery time variance by 18.7% compared to the truck-only solution (Truck Traveling Salesman Problem (TTSP)). Improved neural network (INN) algorithms are also superior to the traditional genetic algorithm (GA) and Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search (ALNS) methods in terms of the quality of computed solutions. This research provides an adaptive solution for intelligent low-altitude logistics, which provides a theoretical basis and practical tools for the development of urban air traffic under environmental uncertainty.
