- Vehicle routing problems (VRP), including the traveling salesman problem, have marked the success of operations research more than almost any other set of combinatorial optimization problems. Recent trends have moved forward towards side-constraints (or experimental variations) that are motivated from practice in industry. The book reflects the most recent scholarship and the most important scholars in the field. The result will be one of the most important books in VRP to be published in recent times
- Bruce Golden is one of the top international research scholars in Vehicle Routing. He is well-known beyond the OR/MS community and is recognized for his work in the areas of Computer Science and Engineering, which will increase the cross-disciplinary nature of the book and add to its interest across the Applied Sciences

Part of the book series: Operations Research/Computer Science Interfaces Series (ORCS, volume 43)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The routing of vehicles with limited capacities for carrying goods or people is one of the major problems in transport logistics. … The book is clearly structured and mostly well written. I can recommend it to any reader who wants to deepen his or her understanding of vehicle routing problems. … the book is not only suited for experts in the area of vehicle routing but also for interested practitioners (especially the application-oriented chapters); and students." (T Hanne, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 60 (11), 2009)
