In the context of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), a depot is a central location where vehicles start and end their routes. It serves as the origin and destination for all vehicle trips. The depot is a critical component of the VRP, as it represents the base of operations for the fleet.

While a system-wide depot generally represents a centralized hub where vehicles load or park, Vehicle Start and End Locations are specialized vehicle constraints that define explicitly where a specific vehicle begins and finishes its shift.
