With the upcoming integration of drones in the airspace, it is of great importance to schedule drones to achieve efficiency and avoid collisions. Vehicle scheduling problem (VSP) is a new problem we defined to formulate this problem. 

We show NP hardness for various objective functions as well as give a heuristic algorithm for solving the problem. We compare the results to the exact solution to the MIP formulation of the problem for small cases.
