Three families and 19 areas. Each one opens the filtered library, with the newest first.

Optimization of routes

1,839

What to visit, in what order and with which vehicle. From the 1959 problem to the methods that today solve thousands of stops.

Road networks and mobility data

607

The royal street: minimum roads, GPS tracks, travel times and traffic. Which makes a map an estimate.

Driver and vehicle

732

What happens inside the cabin and under the hood: risk to the wheel, distraction, consumption and maintenance.

The new of 2026

Why do we publish this

A route engine is not made up of zero. The 1964 savings algorithm continues to give the initial solution, the contraction hierarchies make a consultation respond in microseconds and the adjustment of GPS tracks to the street comes from a 2009 article. None of that is ours, and all that makes the product exist.

The custom of the sector is to publish "white papers": marketing in the form of research, behind a form. We prefer to point out where the real literature is, with its authorship intact. It is kept by the Drometra team.

How it's built

  • 130 We choose them and write them by hand: they are the "Labs Selection."
  • The rest comes from OpenAlex, an open index of scientific literature, searching for title in each area and dismissing what is not about the subject.
  • In order to enter, a job needs to be quoted in accordance with its antiquity. 2025 and 2026, which still has no way of accumulating them, comes in if it was in a demanding magazine of the area.
  • The dates and open access are the ones that OpenAlex recorded when updating. We do not host copies: the link goes to DOI and, when it exists, to the legal free version.

Is there a job missing, or is there one left? Write to us [email protected] with the DOI.

From literature to the road

Calculating a route and optimizing a full day of deliveries are different problems, and that decides which tool is right. Let's talk about your operation.
