OpenVRP is an open vehicle route planner aimed at enhancing mobility in rural areas without the need for private cars by providing an efficient, on-demand, and ecological transportation system. The project, initiated in November 2009, includes the development of a dial-a-ride problem solver and various software packages, culminating in the official announcement and release of the OpenVRP website by July 2010. The document also references the project's collaborations and a geographic feature collection relating to the service.
