v11 v12 2 2 = Vehicle Routing Problem = 3 3 The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a class of problems that frequently occurs in the field of transportation logistics. The original formulation of the problem 4 has been defined in the late 1950ies and consists of a fleet of vehicles serving a set of customers with a certain demand from a single depot. The implementation in HeuristicLab covers the capacitated problem formulation with time windows (CVRPTW). Additionally, in version 3.4 pickup and delivery formulations and multiple depots are also supported.
