The Book will collected high quality short papers submitted to the 9th VeRoLog Conference which is the established meeting of the vast research community focusing on optimization of Vehicle Routing and Logistics. The conference typically attract between 150 and 200 speakers worldwide and is supported by the major industries in the field such as PTV and Ortec and represent a regular meeting point between industry and research. This year the conference will also organize a phd school on vehicle routing involving important scholars such as Matteo Fischetti and Stefan Ropke so the volume may also include chapters based on the lecture notes.
