VRP: how to model fixed costs associated with using a vehicle?

[Siddharth Jain]

Hi All, While solving the VRP problem, how do we account for fixed costs such as cost of a driver (or it could be anything else but a fixed cost for using a vehicle)?

[Laurent Perron]

There is an exact API for that:
