It is motivated by two issues. -First, you can find vehicle routing problems **everywhere** from pizza services, parcel deliveries, bicycle messengers, craftsmen, passenger transport on demand to the various shipping companies. This probably explains why there is an almost endless list of papers and algorithms to tackle these problems, **BUT** there are (as far as I know) only a [very few open source implementations](https://github.com/jsprit/jsprit/wiki/Other-Projects) of one of these thousands algorithms. And there are even less projects that can deal with real world problems that usually have many side-constraints. +First, you can find vehicle routing problems **everywhere** from pizza services, parcel deliveries, bicycle messengers, craftsmen, passenger transport to numerous types of other shipping companies. This probably explains why there is an almost endless list of papers and algorithms to tackle these problems, **BUT** there are (as far as I know) only a [very few open source implementations](https://github.com/jsprit/jsprit/wiki/Other-Projects), and there are even less projects that can deal with real world problems that usually have many side-constraints. Second, it is motivated by my PhD-project at [KIT](http://www.kit.edu/english/index.php) where I apply vehicle routing algorithms to solve behavioural models of freight agents to assess (freight) transport policy measures.
