In recent years, some of the most talked-about developments in the transportation sector include the use of drones, the introduction of last-mile delivery services, and the use of large-scale mapping data. Along with these new developments comes a host of new problems and trade-offs. We will discuss two such problems and use the "continuous approximation paradigm" to reveal basic insights about those factors that influence them most significantly.
