The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) has been an especially active and fertile area of
research. Over the past five to seven years, there have been numerous technological
advances and exciting challenges that are of considerable interest to students, teachers,
and researchers. The Vehicle Routing Problem: Latest Advances and New Challenges will
focus on a host of significant technical advances that have evolved over the past few
years for modeling and solving vehicle routing problems and variants. New approaches
for solving VRPs have been developed from important methodological advances. These
developments have resulted in faster solution algorithms, more accurate techniques, and
an improvement in the ability to solve large-scale, complex problems.

The book will systematically examine these recent developments in the VRP and provide
the following in a unified and carefully developed presentation: Present novel problems
that have arisen in the vehicle routing domain and highlight new challenges for the field;
Present significant methodological advances or new approaches for solving existing
vehicle routing problems; Summarize the most significant research results for the vehicle
routing problem and its variants from 2000 to the present.
