    1. Overview of Vehicle Routing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    In a vehicle routing problem, we have a vehicle moving from point A to point B. Between these two points, there are several routes. The goal is to find the best of these routes. However, in real world scenario, we often would have not just one vehicle, but a fleet of vehicles and a set locations.<\/p>\n
