Abstract: Vehicle routing problems have been the focus of extensive research over the past sixty years, driven by their economic importance and their theoretical interest. The diversity of applications has motivated the study of a myriad of problem variants with different attributes. In this article, we provide a concise overview of existing and emerging problem variants. Models are typically refined along three lines: considering more relevant objectives and performance metrics, integrating vehicle routing evaluations with other tactical decisions, and capturing fine-grained yet essential aspects of modern supply chains. We organize the main problem attributes within this structured framework. We discuss recent research directions and pinpoint current shortcomings, recent successes, and emerging challenges.

TL;DR: A heuristic algorithm is developed for the problem of vehicle routing using fixed delivery areas based upon an initial allocation of customers to subareas followed by customer interchanges in an attempt to improve the subarea quality.
Self-imposed time windows in vehicle routing problems
TL;DR: A heuristic solution approach combining an LP model and a local search heuristic that establishes the order of visit of the customers per vehicle and generates detailed timing decisions by the LP model, whose output also guides the local search in a feedback loop.
