Research on the application of “last-mile” autonomous delivery vehicles in the context of epidemic prevention and control

With the outbreak prevention and control of New Coronary Pneumonia (NCP), the “last mile” distribution of express has become more difficult. The development of artificial intelligence + logistics can improve the efficiency of logistics delivery to a certain extent. Autonomous delivery vehicle, with their high delivery efficiency, reduced transmission of infection, intelligent service experience and other advantages, have a broad application space in the “last mile” delivery. This study compares the development status of domestic “last-mile” delivery, analyzes the main pain points of “last-mile” delivery during epidemic prevention and control, introduces the development status of domestic unmanned vehicles, and discusses the application scenarios and advantages of unmanned vehicle delivery. Finally, the development suggestions and countermeasures were put forward for unmanned vehicle manufacturers, logistics enterprises and government, etc.
