Abstract: To meet the personalized distribution needs of customers, comprehensively consider customer value, the urgency of customer needs, and the impact of priority distribution to the customer on the enterprise, and based on regional restrictions, put forward vehicle-drone joint distribution path optimization problem considering customer priority. First, the goal is to minimize the sum of total distribution cost and customer priority cost integrating soft time windows and constructing a path optimization model of the vehicle-drone joint distribution. Second, a two-stage hybrid algorithm is proposed for the problem model. In the first stage, the deep neural network and the grid search improved support vector machine algorithm (DNN-GSM-SVM) are used to screen and classify customer priority features, and in the second stage, adaptive large-scale neighborhood search improved genetic algorithms (ALNS-GA) are used to solve the problem of vehicle-drone joint distribution path planning problem. Finally, combined with the numerical example, the optimization scheme of the vehicle-drone joint distribution path considering priority is analyzed. Compared with the three algorithms and error analysis, the effectiveness of the model and the two-stage algorithm was verified. Compared with the results of the scheme that does not consider priority, the results show that priority can significantly improve customer satisfaction. The efficiency of the vehicle-drone joint distribution was verified by comparing the three scenarios.
