CHANNEL GENERATION DEVICE, CHANNEL GENERATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM

To provide a technology that enables faster determination of a distribution channel when performing complex distribution.SOLUTION: A channel generation device for generating a distribution channel that travels between a departure point and a plurality of destinations includes a generation unit that generates one or more first distribution channels between the departure point and take-off and landing points using predetermined transportation means and that satisfy a first condition, one or more second distribution channels that travel from the take-off and landing points to the take-off and landing points via a plurality of destinations using an unmanned aerial vehicle and that satisfy a second condition, and a predetermined number of distribution channels in order starting from the distribution channel with the shortest channel length among the one or more distribution channels that combine the one or more first distribution channels and the one or more second distribution channels, and an output unit that outputs the predetermined number of distribution channels generated by the generating unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】複合物流を行う際の物流経路を、より迅速に決定することが可能な技術を提供すること。【解決手段】出発地点と複数の目的地とを巡回する物流経路を生成する経路生成装置であって、物流経路を生成する生成部であって、所定輸送手段を用いて出発地点と離着陸地点との間における１以上の第１物流経路であって第１条件を満たす１以上の第１物流経路と、無人飛行体を用いて離着陸地点から複数の目的地を経由して離着陸地点に移動する１以上の第２物流経路であって第２条件を満たす１以上の第２物流経路と、１以上の第１物流経路と１以上の第２物流経路とを組み合わせた１以上の物流経路のうち経路長が最も短い物流経路から順に所定数の物流経路を生成する生成部と、生成部により生成された所定数の物流経路を出力する出力部と、を有する、経路生成装置を提供する。【選択図】図２
