Multi-objective vehicle routing problems

Routing problems, such as the traveling salesman problem and the vehicle routing problem, are widely studied both because of their classic academic appeal and their numerous real-life applications. Similarly, the field of multi-objective optimization is attracting more and more attention, notably because it offers new opportunities for defining problems. This article surveys the existing research related to multi-objective optimization in routing problems. It examines routing problems in terms of their definitions, their objectives, and the multi-objective algorithms proposed for solving them.
