Abstract - We were amazed by the way in which e-

creates setbacks for conveyances, expansions in movement costs, natural contaminations, and so forth. The course is a course, way, or street for section or travel. There are many courses between a source or point and an objective. Frequently we stall out on a course because of helpless information on the traffic circumstance of the course and invest more energy and assets on the course which should be kept away from on the off chance that total and right data were accessible. Along these lines, underlining the requirement for earlier information on street traffic circumstances to help decision-production on which course to employ was found. The client holds the right of decision however the underlying issues are cost and appearance time at the destination. The typical peculiarity is to go between two focuses utilizing the briefest way known, inside a particular time and cost. Be that as it may, what happens when the most limited way or course turns into the longest because of an occasion or event prompting a stop on the course. The client invests more energy and costs on the course which should be more limited than different courses, accordingly making it not an ideal course at that particular time. This project investigates course and steering issues in street transportation frameworks. A review of course enhancement methods is done for both hard figuring (non intelligent) strategies and delicate processing (clever) procedures.

commerce stores and other delivery agencies like Dunzo, Swiggy deliver products on the same day. When we researched about the process and the way in which they can make such complex decisions we decided to make such a platform that will not only be open source but can be integrated with other applications as an API. We aimed to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem along with the Travelling Sales Person coupled with route optimization. The main objective of the project is to create an algorithm that refers to a database of defined data ( the parameters are constant ) containing the orders placed by the inventory management and billing system which is then processed such that the orders are distributed among the available delivery vehicles such that the sum of the overall distance traveled by all the available vehicles is the minimum and the route between each pickup or delivery is optimal. We used the concept of the resource allocation, webserver, route optimization, distance matrix to provide the backend to our project. Further we will build a android application that will be used by the delivery person for better optimisation. Key Words: VEHICLE ROUTING PROBLEM, ROUTE OPITIMIZATION, ANDROID APPILICATION, API.

1. INTRODUCTION We as a team were intrigued with the way ecommerce stores and other delivery agencies like Dunzo, Swiggy, Grofers deliver products on the same day. When we researched about the process and the way that they can make such complex decisions we decided to make such a platform that will not only be open source but can be integrated with other applications as an API.

Android Studio is the authority incorporated improvement climate (IDE) for Android application advancement. It depends on the IntelliJ IDEA, a Java coordinated advancement climate for programming, and consolidates its code altering and engineer instruments. To help application advancement inside the Android working framework, Android Studio utilizes a Gradle-based form framework, emulator, code formats, and Github coordination. Each venture in Android Studio has at least one modalities with source code and asset documents.

On reading research papers, documentations, and articles we clarified our goal and end product as a team which was to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem along with the Travelling Sales Person coupled with route optimization. We identified the technical approach that will be required for the completion of the project and identified that we will require the google maps API to provide a navigable route from pickup to drop off location.Apart from this we also needed the concept of the resource allocation, webserver to provide the backend to our project.

2. Literature Survey A significant applicable class of the VRP is the pickup-delivery problem(PDP). The PDP is a direct issue with various pickup areas and delivery areas for moving products. The PDP can be characterized into three sorts: many-to-many, one-to-many-to-one, and balanced, in view of the pickup and conveyance relations.

It is human nature to travel from one spot to another, it can be for leisure or for work, it is this travel from one spot to the other that expands traffic on the course of the development, the expanded traffic at last prompts clog. This blockage influences the street transportation framework and

In a many-to-numerous PDP, everything might have different pickup hubs and delivery hubs, while any hub can
