The Multi-Destination Vehicle Routing Problem (MD-VRP) with a heterogeneous electric fleet is a critical challenge in optimizing commuter services for large-scale institutions and logistics operations. To address the complexities of electric fleet composition uncertainty and multi-center routing in “micro-city” campus environments, this paper establishes a robust multi-objective programming model. The model aims to simultaneously minimize three conflicting objectives, the total number of vehicles, total driving distance, and total electric energy consumption (kWh), under constraints of flow conservation and vehicle availability. Considering the nondeterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) nature of the problem, a novel two-stage hybrid heuristic algorithm is proposed. In the first stage, a Modified Kruskal’s algorithm is employed to aggregate scattered stops into optimized clusters to reduce dimensionality. In the second stage, a State-Compressed Dynamic Programming (SC-DP) algorithm is applied to determine the optimal routing and electric vehicle type selection for each cluster. The methodology is validated using a case study of a large-scale campus network with 100 nodes. The optimization results identify an optimal fleet configuration of 41 campus electric commuter vehicles across three specific types (capacities of 45, 55, and 60), resulting in an annual total energy consumption of 5893.98 kWh. Compared with a global Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) baseline in this case study, the proposed framework reduces the required fleet size by 22.6% and annual energy consumption by 9.2%; however, this comparison should be interpreted as a preliminary case-study benchmark because the proposed method adopts a decomposition-based “Cluster-First, Route-Second” strategy. The results indicate that the approach achieves higher solution efficiency, offering an economically and environmentally friendly scheme for electric vehicle fleet operations.
City-scale UAV planning requires a clear distinction between areas screened out by operational constraints and areas retained for graded suitability assessment. To address this need, this study develops a grid-based framework for near-ground airspace up to 120 m above ground level in Yangzhou, China, and examines the resulting spatial patterns. Multi-source geospatial and regulatory data are integrated into regular hexagonal cells with a side length of 100 m. The framework first applies no-fly zone-related constraint screening and then evaluates the remaining cells using nine suitability indicators weighted by the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation method. Global and local Moran’s I are used to identify spatial dependence, local clusters, and spatial outliers, while ordinary least squares and geographically weighted regression characterize global and spatially varying associations. The suitability index exhibits significant positive spatial autocorrelation (Moran’s I = 0.738, p = 0.005), with continuous high–high and low–low clusters and localized transition zones. Compared with OLS, GWR increases R2 from 0.876 to 0.911 and reduces residual Moran’s I from 0.275 to 0.127, providing evidence of spatial non-stationarity across urban subregions. Overall, the framework integrates constraint screening, graded suitability assessment, and spatial heterogeneity analysis into a consistent geospatial decision-support structure for differentiated pre-operational UAV deployment and urban low-altitude airspace planning.
