This paper reviews and classifies the work done in the field of dynamic vehicle routing. We focus, in particular, on problems where the uncertainty comes from the occurrence of new requests. Problem-solving approaches are investigated in contexts where consolidation of multiple requests onto the same vehicle is allowed and addressed through the design of planned routes. Starting with pure myopic approaches, we then review in later sections the issues of diversion and anticipation of future requests.
