The Vehicle Routing Problem: Latest Advances and New Challenges Reviews

From the reviews:

The routing of vehicles with limited capacities for carrying goods or people is one of the major problems in transport logistics. ... The book is clearly structured and mostly well written. I can recommend it to any reader who wants to deepen his or her understanding of vehicle routing problems. ... the book is not only suited for experts in the area of vehicle routing but also for interested practitioners (especially the application-oriented chapters); and students. (T Hanne, Journal of the Operational Research Society, Vol. 60 (11), 2009)
