    Special issue of Networks on Advances in Vehicle Routing and Logistics Optimization

    Guest Editors: Martin Josef Geiger, Asvin Goel 

    VeRoLog is the Working Group on Vehicle Routing and Logistics Optimization within EURO, the Association of the European Operational Research Societies. The VeRoLog conference is an annual meeting bringing together the large community of researchers and practitioners interested in vehicle routing optimization and its relationship with logistics. 

    This call for papers seeks high-quality methodological contributions on vehicle routing optimization and logistics optimization to relevant real-world applications in industry and the service sector. This call is open to contributions on innovative exact and heuristic optimization methods and particularly encourages attendees of the VeRoLog 2022 conference in Hamburg (Germany) to submit to this special issue. Contributions by other authors in the field who haven't been able to attend the VeRoLog 2022 conference are also welcomed.
