Abstract
We present an optimized drone fleet disaster response system modeled after the recent hurricane in Puerto Rico. Our model uses the assumptions given by HELP Inc., a non-profit organization, to efficiently deliver supplementary medical supplies to hospitals in effected areas. We give an algorithm for determining optimal drop locations for multiple ISO cargo containers, contained in which are drones and medical supplies. We also give an algorithm for selecting a drone fleet from predefined options and optimal packing configurations for ISO cargo containers. Finally, we apply our model to Puerto Rico detailing efficient drone routes and schedules, and conclude with a sensitivity analysis of our model.
