Vehicle routing problem with drones and drone speed selection
The basis of all test instances is an approximately 20 km by 30 km rectangle located in Minnehaha County, South Dakota, USA.

The map below shows the distribution of the selected customer locations (blue) and the depot (red). To create a single instance, we randomly select the requested number of customers from all customer locations.
