Overview

About

A 'tidyverse'-style interface to high-performance vehicle routing problem (VRP) solving. Vendors the C++ core of the 'PyVRP' solver (https://github.com/PyVRP/PyVRP) and rewires it through 'cpp11', with no 'Python' runtime dependency. Supports the capacitated VRP, time windows, multiple depots, heterogeneous fleets, prize-collecting and multi-trip variants, driven by an iterated local search metaheuristic.

Changes in 0.2.2
  • Fixes the installation failure in CRAN's additional clang23 checks (LLVM 23 libc++, which no longer provides <algorithm> transitively): the vendored Client.cpp and VehicleType.cpp use std::any_of without including it. tools/vendor.R now adds the include, as it already did for <iterator>.
