Synopsis

Hardbound. This collection of original research papers is dedicated to the analysis and solution of vehicle routing problems.

Vehicle routing is a branch of operations research that has attracted a great deal of research attention over the years. The accumulated body of knowledge has resulted in algorithms and insights that have enabled companies and organizations in both the public and private sectors to save from 5% to 10% on distribution related costs.

The volume brings together, in a comprehensive way, the theory and practice of vehicle routing in book form for the first time.

About this title

Review

All the articles in this collection have been written by experts in the field. They give the reader an excellent view of the progress made on this problem and its diverse applications. The book will therefore be very useful to practitioners of Operational Research, to research workers in the area of combinatorial optimization and to persons who are particularly interested in the vehicle routing situations. Most articles not only critically review and summarise the results available in the literature but also add to our knowledge of the problem. -- S.R. Mohan, Opsearch
