#Stork

##Solves Vehicle Routing Problems

Given a depot location and a set of customer locations, Stork will tell you an optimized route for your vehicles to take.

Stork uses the Google Maps API to get a distance matrix from the locations, and uses Simulated Annealing to determine the routes for your vehicles to take.

##Install

npm install stork

##Run the server:

var Stork = require('stork')

var stork = new Stork({ port: 8000 }).start()

Now you can go to 127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser, and use the web app.

You can also query the REST API.

Stork exposes one REST resource:

POST /solve

Send the solution options as JSON. It can look like this:
