In this post, we delve into solving the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) by transitioning from traditional routing models to the advanced Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) approach. We'll start with the basics of creating a routing model using Google OR-Tools and then explore how to formulate and solve the CVRP using MIP for more optimized solutions. Whether you're new to vehicle routing or looking to enhance your optimization techniques, this comprehensive guide provides the insights and code examples you need.
