Preface

The vehicle routing problem (VRP) is considered among the most challenging in combinatorial optimization. In recent years, the evolution of VRP toward achieving real-life applicable streams enables expedited VRP variants, models, solution techniques, and applications. In supply chain management, in addition to minimizing transport costs, there is now critical attention paid to environmental aspects. This book provides new advances in vehicle routing problems with the means to develop green logistic systems. Although there is a variety of existing papers and studies on vehicle routing problems, the green remains a promising field that requires further study. To this end, we propose addressing both environmental aspects and vehicle routing problems (VRPs) together. The interaction of classical variants of vehicle routing problems with green concerns can help organizations to overcome difficulties and to achieve sustainability goals while minimizing the total distan
