Vehicle Routing Problem

This text covers the state-of-the-art solution methods developed at the end of the 20th century for the Vechicle Routing Problem (VRP) and some of its main variants, while also devoting a large part to the discussion of practical issues.

Paolo Toth is a Professor of Combinatorial Optimization at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Bologna. His current research interests concern the design of algorithms for combinatorial optimization and graph theory problems and their application in real-world transportation, crew management, routing, and loading problems. In July 1998, he was conferred the Euro Gold Medal award. He has published more than 90 papers internationally, has co-authored and edited several books, and serves as editor for several journals. He is currently president of the International Federation of the Operational Research Societies (IFORS) for the period of 2001-2003.

Daniele Vigo is an Associate Professor of Operations Research at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Bologna. His main research activities are in the field of combinatorial optimization, with particular interest in the design of algorithms for routing, cutting, packing, and crew management problems. He has published more than 30 papers internationally and serves as Associate Editor for the journal Operations Research.
