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 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. +First, you can find vehicle routing problems **everywhere**.

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.
