The paper introduces an integrated optimization framework that links automated warehouse operations with last‑mile multi‑modal transport for differentiated on‑demand delivery. It employs a deep reinforcement learning approach—MORM‑AGDQN for warehouse scheduling and MRMH‑HCVRP for external routing—to balance service level, cost, and demand. The results demonstrate significant performance gains, including a 100 % on‑time delivery rate, a 29.3 % reduction in average last‑mile delivery time, a 46.4 % cut in total transportation distance, and a high‑priority service rate exceeding 92 % while maintaining cost‑customer satisfaction balance.

HiRAD is a hierarchical reinforcement learning framework designed for continuous-space routing of large-scale AGV fleets, offering real-time guarantees. It introduces a step-level spatiotemporal representation, separates heading selection from velocity control to shrink the action space, and employs an asynchronous event-driven decision pipeline that reduces inference complexity from O(n²) to O(n) and cuts per-step latency by up to 71%. Experiments on random graphs and two warehouse maps show that HiRAD decreases makespan by 45% to 63% and shortens overall runtime.
