##About
The jsprit-project is created and maintained by Stefan Schröder. It is motivated by two issues.
First, you can find vehicle routing problems **everywhere** transportation and logistics. Just think of pizza services, parcel services, bicycle messengers, craftsmen, passenger transport on-demand and 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 fewer 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.
