What it is and what it does
This package wraps Google's Route Optimization API as a Python client, letting you programmatically optimize how tasks get assigned and routed across a vehicle fleet. It depends on google-api-core, google-auth, grpcio, proto-plus, and protobuf to handle authentication, gRPC communication, and protocol buffer serialization with Google's backend service.
You supply your transportation objectives and constraints—vehicle capacities, time windows, task locations, and cost preferences—and the API returns optimized routes and assignments. The library is in Beta status, supports Python 3.10 through 3.14, and is actively maintained. It includes structured logging support via the standard Python logging module, with optional environment-based or code-based configuration.
Use it for
- Optimize delivery routes for a logistics fleet to minimize travel time and fuel costs
- Assign service technician tasks to available vehicles while respecting time windows and skill requirements
- Plan multi-stop routes for a ride-sharing or shuttle service with passenger pickup and dropoff constraints
- Coordinate field service operations (maintenance, inspections) across a distributed team of mobile workers
