This paper provides a systematic overview of machine learning methods applied to solve NP-hard Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs). Recently, there has been great interest from both the machine learning and operations research communities in solving VRPs either through pure learning methods or by combining them with traditional handcrafted heuristics. We present a taxonomy of studies on learning paradigms, solution structures, underlying models, and algorithms. Detailed results of state-of-the-art methods are presented, demonstrating their competitiveness with traditional approaches. The survey highlights the advantages of the machine learning-based models that aim to exploit the symmetry of VRP solutions. The paper outlines future research directions to incorporate learning-based solutions to address the challenges of modern transportation systems.
