Abstract

In this chapter, we present the practical fields of routing applications inducing RVRPs. We analyze the applications regarding uncertainty and requirement for planning. We focus on routing in urban environments. The main purpose of this section is to give an overview of the important entities and underlying components in RVRPs as well as the most common objectives, constraints, and main drivers of uncertainty.
