Solving optimisation problems using computer software

This report contains a summary and comparison of some of the different approaches which have been used to formulate and solve single-depot Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs). The approaches studied in this report consist of exact approaches (Transformation of VRP to TSP and Branch-and-bound method), so...
