Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP) consist of a large number of customers, each requiring a specified weight of goods to be delivered by a fleet of vehicles. In the last 50 years, vehicle routing has appeared as one of the major areas of both research and practice in the field of management science and operations research. In real life, vehicle routing problems include additional requirements and difficulties beyond the basic VRP. In our study, we consider Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problem with Heterogeneous Vehicle Fleet (MDVRPHVF) and MDVRPHVF with Backhauls (MDVRPHVFB) which are faced usually in real life and taken into account by many supply chain companies. We will develop a visual interactive DSS, which is applicable in real life and able to solve these problems by heuristic methods, for the considered problems.
