Static pickup and delivery problems: a classification scheme and survey

TLDR
A general framework to model a large collection of pickup and delivery problems, as well as a three-field classification scheme for these problems, is introduced.
Abstract
Pickup and delivery problems constitute an important class of vehicle routing problems in which objects or people have to be collected and distributed. This paper introduces a general framework to model a large collection of pickup and delivery problems, as well as a three-field classification scheme for these problems. It surveys the methods used for solving them.
