Abstract
In this chapter, we first recall the development in the field of vehicle routing problems. We then describe the characteristics of rich vehicle routing problems (RVRPs) in Sect. 2.2 focusing on uncertainty and replanning aspects. We briefly describe logistics management (LM) in Sect. 2.3, embed (rich) vehicle routing in context of LM’s hierarchical planning in Sect. 2.4, and present an overview on emerging developments and challenges inducing RVRPs in Sect. 2.5.
