On the Reformulation of Vehicle Routing Problems and Scheduling Problems [PDF]
, 2002 We can reformulate a vehicle routing problem (VRP) as an open shop scheduling problem (SSP) by representing visits as activities, vehicles as resources on the factory floor, and travel as set up costs between activities. In this paper we present two reformulations: from VRP to open shop, and the inverse, from SSP to VRP.

On the differential evolution for vehicle routing problem [PDF]
2013 International Conference on Soft Computing and Pattern Recognition (SoCPaR), 2013 Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a well known NP-hard optimization problem with a number of real world applications and a variety of different versions. Due to its complexity, large instances of VRP are hard to solve using exact methods. Instead, various heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms were used to find feasible VRP solutions.
