Summary/Abstract: One of the most interesting problems in logistic is the distribution optimization. A huge effort has been invested in cutting the transport costs via computer optimization of vehicle routing. Abstractly, the task is known as the vehicle routing problem and there exist many different algorithms for approximate solutions. The main goal of the problem is to carry out deliveries from the central storage facility to all customers incurring minimal costs and subject to certain additional constraints. Generally, putting VRP in practice presents a number of additional difficulties, from obtaining road network information, gathering data about shipments and packaging to efficient coding of algorithms. The purpose of this paper is to present the development and implementation of a transport routing application for a special distribution centre and customer network.
