Realizing flexible and sustainable last-mile logistics tailored to regions and residents
Fujitsu Limited today announced that it is accelerating the social implementation of next-generation logistics by applying its recent research findings on the social acceptance of drone delivery to its Uvance [1] business model, specifically within the Dynamic Supply Chain Management area. By combining insights on societal acceptance with flow-of-commerce and logistics data, Fujitsu, in collaboration with partners, logistics operators, local governments, and regional businesses, will utilize AI-driven analysis and simulations to design regional delivery services that optimize transport modes, including trucks, drones, and autonomous delivery robots.
The findings leveraged in this initiative are the result of joint research conducted by Fujitsu with researchers from Kyushu University, Sungkyunkwan University, and other institutions. The results of this study were published online in the international academic journal Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review on July 29, 2026, and will appear in Volume 215 of the journal (scheduled for publication in November 2026).
