VRP Solver

Description

VRP Solver implements a randomized version of the Clarke-Wright savings algorithm for vehicle routing problems. It takes input from a text file listing each customer’s location (latitude and longitude) and demand. Distances may be entered explicitly or computed automatically using Euclidean or great-circle metrics. It builds vehicle routes that visit every city exactly once and that obey user-specified vehicle volume and distance limits. Results are displayed in graphical (map) form and in text form.

For more information, see the Read Me file, which is distributed with the software.
