GitHub - punnerud/mpee: Offline routing, multi-vehicle VRP & street geocoding for one downloaded area — Rust engine, driven from Python or a CLI
punnerud · 2026-05-27 · via Hacker News: Show HN

MPEE — Offline route calculations and optimization

MPEE live demo — address search, street crossings, routing and multi-vehicle optimization over San Francisco, in the browser

Live demo → — the whole engine compiled to WebAssembly (+ WebGPU), running in your browser.

One Rust engine that replaces the OSRM + VROOM stack — routing and vehicle-routing optimization in a single process, sharing memory directly. Download one area once, then route, optimize, and geocode it fully offline.

⚡ A 50,000-customer fleet needs a 50,000 × 50,000 distance matrix — ~10 GB to hold in memory, which is exactly what OSRM + VROOM do. MPEE never materialises it: it streams that matrix through a ~500 MB budget (≈20× less) yet still solves the whole fleet — in 94 s where OSRM runs out of RAM, on CPU + GPU.

🌐 Live demo → punnerud.github.io/mpee/demo — the whole engine compiled to WebAssembly, running in your browser over a San Francisco map: address search, street-crossing lookup, point-to-point routing and multi-vehicle optimization, computed locally (no server).

How it compares (measured, Apple M3 Pro)

A 50,000-customer fleet implies a 50,000 × 50,000 distance matrix — ~10 GB if you store it. The classic OSRM + VROOM split builds and ships that matrix between two processes; MPEE streams it in one process and never materialises it, which is where the speed and memory wins come from.

Routing — N×N duration+distance matrix · dijeng vs OSRM, Greater London CH (n = 1.16 M)

Matrix MPEE — time MPEE — peak RAM OSRM
10k × 10k 4.3 s streamed impractical — no chunked many-to-many
50k × 50k 94 s ≤ 500 MB OOM — the matrix alone is ~10 GB

Honest caveat: OSRM is ~3× faster on a single point-to-point query (≈30 µs vs ≈88 µs). MPEE wins decisively the moment you need a fleet-sized matrix — the case VRP actually requires. (full table)

Optimisation — VRP solver · brooom vs PyVRP / VROOM / OR-Tools, Solomon-style

Scale Result
N = 100–200 ties the best (PyVRP) on tight-window C1/R1/C2 and reaches it ~2.5× faster; on wide-window R2/RC2 now within ~1–3 % of PyVRP (beats it on some, e.g. r208) after a route-opening fix — down from 2–13 %; beats OR-Tools (which can fail feasibility)
N = 1,000 beats the next-best solver (PyVRP) on 17 / 20 seeds, p ≈ 10⁻⁷
N = 50,000 the only tested solver that converges on a laptop
Inner loop the entire local search (2-opt, relocate, swap-star, Or-opt, ILS-kick, regret-3) as one GPU megakernel — Metal on Mac, Vulkan/DX12 elsewhere; sub-ms per iteration

End-to-end on this machine: 2,000 jobs / 50 vehicles solved in ~2 min (matrix 0.32 s); 5,000 / 100 in ~9 min (matrix 4.10 s), both ≥99 % assigned. (full benchmarks)

Self-reported — independent validation welcome. All numbers above are measured on one machine (Apple M3 Pro) and have not been independently verified. Not SOTA on raw solution quality (PyVRP's HGS-class ILS leads small-N wide-window); our edge is the integrated single-engine stack, memory/scale, and speed. Every benchmark is built to re-run on the same instances/budget through every solver — see crates/brooom/benchmarks (seeded real-map generator + 4-way harness) and the honest gap analysis in benchmarks/results/.

Scope: MPEE covers a single downloaded area — it isn't a route-anywhere-on-Earth offline map. Pick the OSM extract that matches your operating area; the cache scales with it (a city ≈ tens of MB, a whole country ≈ GBs). There's no global tiling, by design — within your area, one cache is simpler and faster.

Constraints

"Vroom-compatible" undersells what the solver actually enforces. brooom ships the whole standard VRP constraint set out of the box — everything VROOM does, plus driver breaks, backhaul and multi-depot — all checked in one evaluator (crates/brooom/src/solution.rs) and proven by a conformance suite you can run yourself: cargo test -p brooom --test constraints.

📖 Constraint cookbook — one copy-paste runnable recipe per constraint, plus a "pick your constraint by problem shape" guide. (Each recipe is backed by a conformance test, so it can't rot.)

Constraint MPEE (brooom) VROOM OR-Tools PyVRP Timefold
Multi-dimensional capacity (weight + volume + …)
Time windows (multiple per stop) ⚠️ one
Skills / vehicle–job compatibility ⚠️
Pickup & delivery (PDPTW, paired, same vehicle)
Backhaul (linehaul served before backhaul) ⚠️ ⚠️
Driver breaks (rest within a window)
Mixed fleet (per-vehicle speed / cost / capacity)
Max route duration / distance / stops
Multi-depot (distinct per-vehicle start/end)
Prize-collecting / optional jobs (per-job prize) ⚠️ ✅ prizes
Precedence / sequencing (A before B) ✅ field + DSL ⚠️
Release times (earliest service per job) ⚠️
Multi-trip / reloading (return to depot, reload)
Max-vehicles cap ⚠️
Client-groups (visit k of N of a set)
Fairness / balancing (soft and hard cap)
Setup time, fixed + per-hour vehicle cost ⚠️
Soft (penalised) constraints ⚠️ ⚠️
Soft time windows / capacity / duration (serve late, charge a penalty) ⚠️
Custom constraints written in code (Rust or Python) ⚠️
Cross-route / global constraints in code
Disjunctions (explicit per-job drop penalty) ⚠️
Multi-objective (weighted travel / span / distance)
Lexicographic objective (N-level, e.g. vehicles → cost) ⚠️
Custom accumulator dimensions (fuel/resource, per-arc transit) ⚠️
Soft cumul bounds (slack-penalised over/under a dimension) ⚠️
Constraint propagation (temporal/precedence/resource) ✅ native + ⚠️ CP via bridge ✅ CP-SAT ⚠️ ⚠️

✅ built-in · ⚠️ partial or emulated · ❌ not available. Competitor columns reflect first-class support per their public docs. With per-route custom constraints (pyspell), cross-route built-ins (max-vehicles, client-groups, fairness), an arbitrary solution-level hook, an N-level lexicographic objective, and custom accumulator dimensions (OR-Tools-style RoutingDimensions with a per-arc transit, soft bounds, and proactive pruning), MPEE covers the full standard VRP feature set plus code-defined constraints and objectives — in one streaming Rust process with no separate matrix step. Every row above is reachable from Rust, Python, an HTTP API, the CLI, and pure JSON (see Choosing a surface). The one genuine remaining edge — CP-SAT-class general constraint programming (bidirectional domain propagation) — is structurally outside a local-search solver; MPEE ships an honest interop bridge that exports a propagation-hard instance to OR-Tools CP-SAT and feeds the answer back as a warm start, rather than pretending to reimplement it.

Custom constraints in code

Need a rule the built-ins don't cover? Register a closure (Rust) or a callable (Python) that the solver runs on every completed route. Return Infeasible to reject it outright, or Penalty(x) to make it a soft constraint the search weighs against cost. Because every accepted route passes through the same evaluator, your rule genuinely shapes the search — not just a post-hoc filter.

// Rust — forbid any route that visits job 20, and softly discourage night work.
use brooom::constraint::{ConstraintGuard, Verdict};
use brooom::matrix::HaversineMatrix;
use brooom::solver::{solve, SolverConfig};
use std::sync::Arc;

let _guard = ConstraintGuard::install(vec![Arc::new(|r: &brooom::RouteView| {
    if r.stop_ids().contains(&20) { return Verdict::Infeasible; }
    if r.metrics.end_time > 18 * 3600 { Verdict::Penalty(500.0) } else { Verdict::Feasible }
})]);

// `solve` takes a MatrixSource (not a prebuilt matrix), mutates the problem to
// intern coordinates, and returns a Result.
let mut problem = brooom::io::parse_input(problem_json)?;
let solution = solve(&mut problem, Some(&HaversineMatrix::default()), SolverConfig::default())?;

// Read the result: which jobs were served vs dropped. A route's `steps` are
// `TaskRef`s; `TaskRef::description(&problem)` resolves one back to its `Job`.
let served: Vec<u64> = solution.routes.iter()
    .flat_map(|r| r.steps.iter().map(|s| s.description(&problem).id)).collect();
let dropped: Vec<u64> = solution.unassigned.iter().map(|t| t.description(&problem).id).collect();

Constraints live in a process-global registry, so they're scoped to one solve at a time. The ConstraintGuard clears them on drop; if you run solves concurrently in one process (or across tests), serialize them.

# Python — same idea, passed straight to Router.solve(...).
def no_job_20(route):
    if 20 in route["job_ids"]:
        return False                      # hard reject
    return 500.0 if route["duration_s"] > 6 * 3600 else None  # soft penalty / ok

plan = router.solve(problem_json, constraints=[no_job_20])

The callback returns False/Infeasible (reject), a number (penalty added to the route's cost), or None/True/Feasible (ok). Registering any custom constraint keeps the solve on the CPU evaluator (the GPU megakernel can't run arbitrary code). Proven by crates/brooom/tests/custom_constraints.rs.

…or as a sandboxed DSL string (compiled to native code)

A Python callback re-acquires the GIL on every route, so it only runs at the end of each evaluation. Write the rule as a string instead and it is parsed (Rust or Python expression syntax), lowered once to a tiny IR, and run natively in the optimization loop — no GIL, deterministic, sandboxed (no I/O, no imports, just a fixed route schema + pure builtins, with an instruction budget). Field-only hard bounds are even mirrored into the O(1) insertion probe, so they prune candidates before full evaluation.

// Rust syntax → compiled to native IR, installed via the same hook.
let _g = brooom::pyspell::install_rust(&[
    "route.travel_time <= 28800",                       // hard bound (mirrored into the probe)
    "if route.distance > 50000 { 500 } else { 0 }",     // soft penalty
    "!route.job_ids.contains(20)",                      // forbid a job
])?;
# Python syntax string — the fast path, no per-route GIL callback.
plan = router.solve(problem_json, constraints=[
    "route.travel_time <= 28800",
    "250 if route.distance > 50000 else 0",
    "20 not in route.job_ids",
])

Schema (all times in seconds, distances in metres): route.{travel_time, service_time, waiting_time, setup_time, start_time, end_time, distance, cost, duration, stop_count, job_ids}, vehicle.{id, capacity, max_tasks, fixed, per_hour}; builtins len, abs, min, max, sum, any, all, round, int, float, bool (+ contains / in) — no other calls, imports, or I/O are allowed. A bool result is feasible/infeasible; a number > 0 is a soft penalty (<= 0 is feasible). Python chained comparisons (0 < route.travel_time < 28800) work; the Rust form also accepts let bindings before the final expression (let d = route.end_time - route.start_time; d <= 3600). A bad string is reported as a compile error before any solve — never a panic (in Python it's raised as RuntimeError). Feature-gated (pyspell for Rust syntax, pyspell-python adds Python); the default build pulls no new crates. Precedence/sequencing uses the index/before/first/last builtins over route.job_ids (visiting order), e.g. !route.job_ids.contains(10) || before(route.job_ids, 10, 20) ("if both are on this route, 10 before 20"). Proven by crates/brooom/tests/pyspell_constraints.rs; design in crates/brooom/docs/pyspell-design.md.

Advanced VRP variants

Beyond the per-route hook, these are first-class — set a field or a solve knob:

Variant How
Prize-collecting / optional jobs per-job prize (finite ⇒ optional, worth that much; default ⇒ mandatory)
Disjunctions (explicit drop penalty) per-job disjunction_penalty (cost of dropping, distinct from prize's value-of-serving)
Release times per-job release (earliest service time, seconds)
Client-groups (visit exactly one) per-job group id
Multi-trip / reloading per-vehicle max_trips > 1 (returns to depot to reload)
Max-vehicles cap solve option max_vehicles
Fairness / balancing solve options fairness_weight + fairness_metric ("duration"/"load")
Multi-objective (weighted) per-vehicle span_cost / distance_weight / time_weight
Lexicographic objective solve option objective = ordered levels (below)
Custom dimensions (fuel/resource) dimensions list with a per-arc transit (below)
Soft time windows / capacity / duration solve option soft_tw (CLI --soft-tw, JSON options.soft_time_windows); below
plan = router.solve(problem_json, max_vehicles=8, fairness_weight=2.0)
# per-job  {"id": 7, "location": {...}, "prize": 200, "release": 3600, "group": 1}
# per-veh  {"id": 1, "start": {...}, "capacity": [100], "max_trips": 3}

The built-in cross-route constraints (max-vehicles, client-groups, fairness) ride on a solution-level hook (brooom::global_constraint); a custom Rust/Python global is the escape hatch for anything else. Multi-trip and any global keep the solve on the CPU evaluator.

Soft time windows / capacity / duration (serve late, don't drop)

OR-Tools-style soft bounds: rather than dropping a stop that can't be served inside its window (or that would overload a vehicle, or overrun the shift), serve it and charge λ × violation. Turn it on with soft_tw (Python router.solve(..., soft_tw=True), CLI --soft-tw, JSON "options": {"soft_time_windows": true}). It auto-enables whenever a problem has job time windows, and --no-soft-tw forces it off.

λ is fixed and high (≈1000× the per-second travel cost, far below the drop prize), so the behaviour is a strict improvement:

  • On a feasible instance no violation ever lowers the cost, so the result is byte-identical to the hard solve (verified across Solomon C/R/RC — 0.00% delta, see benchmarks/results/soft_tw_ab.md).
  • On an over-constrained instance it serves the stops that hard mode would abandon, paying a small lateness penalty instead of the (far larger) drop cost — e.g. a tightened Solomon r101 goes from 2 dropped stops to 0, at 5.3× lower objective.

Structural constraints stay hard even in soft mode (skills, precedence, pickup-before-delivery, reachability, max-distance). Proven by crates/brooom/tests/soft_penalty.rs.

Lexicographic objective (true N-level, not weighted)

Optimise objectives in strict priority order — minimise the first; among the solutions that achieve it, minimise the second; and so on. This is a real two-phase-per-level search (each level pins its achieved value as a hard cap for the next, warm-starting from the previous level), not a weighted sum. Levels: vehicles, unassigned, cost, makespan, distance.

# "Serve everyone first, then use as few vehicles as possible, then cut cost."
plan = router.optimize(stops, vehicles=10, objective=["unassigned", "vehicles", "cost"])
brooom -i problem.json --objective lexicographic --objective-levels vehicles,cost

The default is scalar (single weighted cost) — byte-identical to before when no objective is set. It is best-effort lexicographic: each level's pinned value is the metaheuristic's best, not a proven optimum.

Custom accumulator dimensions (OR-Tools-style RoutingDimension)

Track a quantity that accumulates along each route — fuel, a cooling budget, a custom resource — with a per-arc transit written as a sandboxed pyspell expression over the arc (distance, duration, cumul). Declare a min/max (hard) or soft_max/soft_min + soft_weight (penalty), and a monotonicity so the bound prunes inside the search:

plan = router.optimize(stops, vehicles=5, dimensions=[
    {"name": "fuel", "transit": "distance / 10", "start": 500, "min": 0,
     "monotonicity": "non_increasing"}])

A non_increasing dimension with a min (or non_decreasing with a max) is mirrored into the O(1) insertion probe, so a refuelling-impossible insertion is pruned before full evaluation. Soft bounds add a penalty to the route cost instead of rejecting. From Rust, build brooom::dimension::CustomDimension with .draining() / .monotone() / .with_min() / .soft_max() and a native closure, or compile the same expression with brooom::pyspell.

When you actually need constraint programming (CP-SAT bridge)

A few instances are propagation-hard — tightly-coupled time windows where greedy

  • local-search gets stuck and you need a solver that reasons bidirectionally over the constraint store. That is structurally outside a local-search VRP engine. Rather than fake it, MPEE ships an honest interop bridge (tools/cpsat_bridge/): export the brooom problem to an OR-Tools CP-SAT model, solve the hard sub-instance, and round-trip the exact tour back as a --warm-start for brooom to polish with the full constraint set. Covers multi-depot, multi-dimensional capacity, skills, multiple time windows, pickup & delivery, priority and groups; refuses anything outside that subset loudly. It stays offline tooling — never wired into the hot path.

JSON field shapes & notes. Per-job time_windows is a list of [start,end] (seconds), e.g. "time_windows": [[0,3600],[7200,9000]]; a vehicle's shift is the singular "time_window": [start,end]. A break is {"id":1, "service":1800, "time_windows":[[s,e]]}. prize defaults to a large sentinel (1e9) so unset jobs are mandatory — an optional job needs a finite prize well below that. Declaring any job group auto-enforces "exactly one per group" (no manual hook). When reading a Solution in Rust, a route exposes vehicle_idx (index into problem.vehicles), not the id — use problem.vehicles[r.vehicle_idx].id; per-stop arrival/waiting times come from brooom::io::to_output(&problem, &solution, Some(&matrix)). Native paired shipments (PDPTW) work in the Rust core; the Python Router.solve binding currently needs each half modelled as a job (it errors rather than dropping a shipment).

Choosing a surface

MPEE is a Rust engine, not a Python library. Everything — routing, the matrix stream, the VRP solver, every constraint and objective above — lives in the brooom / dijeng Rust crates. Python, the CLI, and the JSON options block are all thin surfaces over that same core; pick whichever fits how you ship, with zero feature difference between them:

Surface Use it when Entry point
Rust (crate) You embed the solver, want the lowest latency, native callbacks, or WASM. brooom::solver::solve, SolverConfig, brooom::dimension::CustomDimension
JSON config You drive the solver from any language or a pipeline — no code. a VROOM-style problem with an "options" block (objective, dimensions, caps)
CLI Scripts, batch jobs, CI. brooom -i problem.json --objective lexicographic … (build crates/brooom)
HTTP API A service for other apps — sync or async. brooom --serve 8088POST /solve (add a "webhook" field for an async callback; poll GET /jobs/<id>)
Python (mpee) Notebooks, glue code, the quickest start. pip install mpeeRouter.optimize(...) / .solve(...)

The Python package is PyO3 bindings compiled from the Rust crate — it runs the exact same native solver, not a reimplementation. The same is true of the WebAssembly demo, the CLI, and the HTTP API. So "is this only for Python?" — no: Python is one of five equal front doors to one Rust engine.

# HTTP API: expose the solver, solve over HTTP (sync), or async with a webhook.
brooom --serve 8088
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8088/solve --data-binary @problem.json          # sync → solution
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8088/solve \
     -d '{"vehicles":[...],"jobs":[...],"webhook":"https://you.app/cb"}'        # async → 202 {job_id}, callback later
// Rust: the engine directly — lexicographic objective + a fuel dimension.
use brooom::solver::{solve, SolverConfig, ObjectiveMode, LexObjective};
let cfg = SolverConfig {
    objective_mode: ObjectiveMode::Lexicographic {
        levels: vec![LexObjective::Vehicles, LexObjective::Cost],
    },
    ..Default::default()
};
let solution = solve(&mut problem, Some(&matrix), cfg)?;

Install (Python / CLI)

The quickest way to start is the mpee Python package — but it's a thin CLI and library over the same Rust core, not a separate implementation:

pip install mpee

# 1. Get a map once (OpenStreetMap extract → routable cache):
mpee download europe/great-britain/england/greater-london
mpee build data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf            # car (default)
# mpee build data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf bicycle  # or: car | bicycle | foot

# 2. Route from A to B (offline):
mpee route 51.5080,-0.1281 51.5138,-0.0984 --cache data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf
#   → distance: 2.38 km   duration: 4.4 min

# 3. Optimize a multi-vehicle delivery run over your own stops:
mpee optimize --stops stops.txt --vehicles 5 --capacity 20 \
    --cache data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf
#   → 50 stops, 3 vehicles used, 60.0 km total (solved in 4.6s)

# 4. Geocode within the same area, offline (street ⇄ coordinate, + crossings):
mpee reverse  51.5080,-0.1281 --cache data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf  # → Trafalgar Square
mpee geocode  "Baker Street"  --cache data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf  # → 51.522072,-0.157497
mpee crossing "Oxford Street" "Regent Street" --cache data/...            # → Oxford Circus (LAT,LON)

From Python:

import mpee
r = mpee.Router("data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf.pp", "data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf.ch")
leg = r.route(51.5080, -0.1281, 51.5138, -0.0984)     # {distance_km, duration_min, ...}
plan = r.optimize(stops, vehicles=5, capacity=20)      # multi-vehicle VRP
name = r.reverse(51.5080, -0.1281)                     # → "Trafalgar Square" (offline geocoding)
hit  = r.geocode("Baker Street")                       # → {"name", "lat", "lon"}
xs   = r.intersection("Oxford Street", "Regent Street")# → [{"lat","lon"}, ...] (street crossings)

See crates/mpee-py/ for the full Python API, and pypi.org/project/mpee.

Heads-up: there are two CLIs, both named mpee. The commands above are the pip package (pip install mpee → verbs route / optimize / reverse / geocode / crossing / download / build). The Rust workspace binary (cargo run -p mpee-cli, i.e. ./target/release/mpee-cli) is a different tool with VRP-focused verbs (gen / route / reverse / geocode / crossing / download / build / solve / pipeline). They take different inputs (e.g. mpee-cli solve reads VROOM JSON; the pip CLI takes --stops). Use the pip package for the examples on this page.

The Rust workbench

Layer Crate Alternative to
Road-network router (CH) crates/dijeng/ OSRM
VRP solver (GPU + CPU LS) crates/brooom/ VROOM
Shared CLI / orchestration crates/mpee-cli/ (new)
Live HTTP + map UI crates/mpee-viz/ (new)

Both engines are standalone Rust projects (each with its own Cargo.toml, its own binaries, its own tests) and can be run completely independently. mpee wraps them as workspace members so a third crate, mpee-cli, can use both library APIs in the same address space — no IPC, no file hand-off on the hot path.

Note on the folder name: the routing crate lives in crates/dijeng/ after Edsger W. Dijkstra. The earlier spelling dikstra was a typo. The Cargo crate name itself is still dijeng (the original standalone-project name).


Background

Both dijeng and brooom were recently optimised to compute distances on the fly rather than precomputing the entire N×N matrix:

  • dijeng has bucket-based many-to-many MMM that streams rows, granular K-NN (K=160 → 92 MB instead of 20 GB for 50k customers), and 88 µs single-pair CH queries.
  • brooom's local-search loop reads only K-nearest neighbours on the hot path and falls back to single-pair queries for route evaluation — so the full matrix is never required.

Together they make it possible to solve a 50 000-customer VRP on a laptop without ever materialising a full distance matrix.

Each engine has its own integration.txt describing exactly which types and functions form its supported interface. INTEGRATION.md at the workspace root is the bird's-eye view — how the two fit together.


Getting started

Requirements

  • Stable Rust (tested with 1.76+).
  • For the brooom GPU path: a wgpu-supported GPU (Metal on Mac, Vulkan on Linux, DX12 on Windows).

ONNX is not pulled by default. brooom's experimental neural module (and its ~200 MB ort runtime) is opt-in — only --features neural / --features full builds it. A plain cargo build --workspace, -p mpee-cli, or pip install mpee downloads no ONNX. Routing/VRP need none of it.

Build the whole workspace

# Exclude mpee-py: it's a PyO3 extension and must be built with maturin
# (a plain `cargo build` of the cdylib fails to link Python symbols).
cargo build --release --workspace --exclude mpee-py

Build the Python extension separately with maturin (see crates/mpee-py/).

Build a single crate

cargo build --release -p brooom
cargo build --release -p dijeng
cargo build --release -p mpee-cli

Or build a crate completely standalone:

cd crates/brooom && cargo build --release
cd crates/dijeng && cargo build --release

Run

# CLI help
cargo run --release -p mpee-cli -- --help

# Direct VRP solve with brooom (Vroom-compatible JSON)
cargo run --release -p brooom -- -i problem.json -o solution.json

# Build a routable CH cache for ANY region (in-process, ~seconds–minutes):
cargo run --release -p mpee-cli -- build data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf

Build caches with mpee build (or the pip mpee build) — not with bench_pp / bench_ch. Those are benchmark tools: they write the cache and then run a long SSSP/Dijkstra benchmark suite (100 s+) that has nothing to do with building it. mpee build runs the build-only pipeline in-process.

Quick check: does the cache route? (route)

A one-shot point-to-point sanity check (no JSON needed) — input is LAT,LON:

cargo run --release -p mpee-cli -- route 51.5080,-0.1281 51.5138,-0.0984 \
    --cache data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf
#   → distance: 2.38 km   duration: 4.4 min   snap: from 52 m, to 58 m

A big "snap" distance (it warns past 500 m) means the point is off the map or you swapped lat,lon — a fast way to catch input mistakes.

Solve your own VRP from JSON

mpee-cli solve runs a VROOM-style problem against a CH cache. A minimal one ships at examples/problem.json:

# Build a cache first (above), then solve. `--cache <prefix>` derives the
# .ch + .pp paths (or pass --ch/--pp explicitly):
cargo run --release -p mpee-cli -- solve examples/problem.json \
    --cache data/greater-london-latest.osm.pbf --time-limit-s 5 -o solution.json
#   → 10 coords to snap, max snap distance 58 m
#   → jobs 6 (assigned 6 / unassigned 0), 1 vehicle, ≈ 15.2 km

Coordinates accept any of three spellings, so you don't have to remember the order — use {"lat": …, "lon": …} if in doubt:

Per-vehicle capacity / skills / time_window / speed_factor / max_travel_time / max_distance / max_tasks / breaks and per-job delivery / pickup (a pickup-only job is a backhaul, served after every linehaul) / skills / time_windows / service / setup / priority are all honoured — each backed by a test in crates/brooom/tests/constraints.rs. Multi-depot needs no special flag: give each vehicle its own start / end. See the Constraints matrix above.

Don't want to hand-write JSON? mpee-cli gen makes a random problem to try — at any location, not just the four named regions:

mpee-cli gen --center 61.115,10.466 --radius-km 5 --n-jobs 50 -o problem.json   # Lillehammer
mpee-cli gen --region london --n-jobs 50 -o problem.json                        # or a named region

Status

  • dijeng: production-ready routing — CH build, K-NN in 1.2 s for 50k customers, OSRM-compatible HTTP server (bench_osrm, serve), correctness verified against full Dijeng. See crates/dijeng/README.md.

  • brooom: GPU-accelerated VRP. Beats PyVRP / Vroom / OR-Tools at large N (Solomon R1-1000, p ≈ 3·10⁻⁸); #2 behind PyVRP at small N (ties tight-window, −2–5 % on wide-window R2/RC2). Vroom-compatible I/O. See crates/brooom/README.md.

  • mpee-cli: end-to-end VRP pipeline. The download / build / solve / pipeline subcommands load a CH cache via dijeng, snap random / supplied coords to the road graph, build the N×N duration+distance matrix with dijeng's bucket-MMM, and hand the matrix straight to brooom's solver — all in the same address space, no IPC, no disk on the hot path.

  • mpee-viz: live HTTP server (port 8032 by default) that runs the same pipeline and then serves the result over an embedded Leaflet-based mobile UI. Designed so a phone on the same network can load http://<laptop-ip>:8032/, see every route colour-coded on a map, tap a stop for job_id / vehicle_id / stop_order, and zoom to any vehicle's bounding box. See crates/mpee-viz/README.md for build instructions and the measured 2 000 / 5 000-job runs over Greater London.

Measured end-to-end runs (Apple M3 Pro, Central London CH)

N jobs vehicles matrix solve wall assigned distance
2 000 50 0.32 s 122 s ~2 min 1 982 1 332 km
5 000 100 4.10 s 515 s ~9 min 4 948 2 535 km

Both runs ship a 99 %+ assignment rate. The 1 % dropped are random points that snapped to road fragments isolated from the depot (parks, gated roads, pedestrian-only paths). Real address inputs do not have this issue.

Naming

  • MPEE stands for Morten Punnerud-Engelstad Engine.
  • dijeng is the routing sub-engine — short for Dijkstra engine.

The iOS/iPadOS/macOS SwiftUI demo (and its C ABI bridge) lives in a separate repo, mpee-ios, so this engine repo stays platform-neutral.
