Abstract :
This paper studies the definition, classification, model and algorithm of vehicle routing optimization which is considered the major task in logistic distribution and it is also a series of widely used NP difficult issues. Whatpsilas more, the research applies game theory, which is often taken as a branch of applied mathematics and economics, to VRP simulation and evaluates the efficiency of game theory in VRP according to data of Jipsilanan Tobacco Company. To conclude, the researchers make a brief analysis of the research and the contemporary development in this field, and bring up envisagement.
