Abstract
In this paper, we have presented a literature review on the recent publications concerning the Multi Depot Heterogenous Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (MDHVRPTW) and its variants. As variants, we have described works tackling the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW), the Heterogenous Vehicle Routing Problem (HVRP) and the Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problem (MDVRP). Up to 53 recent papers including approaches and methods were surveyed to state the art of this real-life vehicle routing problem.
