We describe a special variant of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), where there are many customers per road segment. A metaheuristic tabu search algorithm for the VRP is given, and aggregation of customers is used to better the performance, with respect to both time and solution quality. The methods are tested on test instances from the literature as well as a portfolio of new test instances es...
