Researchers have developed a novel approach to solve the stochastic multi-path Traveling Salesman Problem, which is relevant for hybrid vehicle routing in smart city logistics. The problem involves finding an optimal route that minimizes expected travel costs given uncertain travel times on multiple paths between locations. Their method integrates neural network-based surrogate models to efficiently approximate the expected value of a recourse problem, enhancing scalability and practical application for complex routing scenarios.
