Multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) are common in real-world applications, including scheduling, vehicle routing, and engineering design. A key challenge in solving MOPs is balancing convergence and diversity, as these problems often involve conflicting objectives and complex...

Background: Accurate route planning is a core challenge in logistics, particularly for small- and medium-sized enterprises that lack access to costly geospatial tools. This study explores whether usable distance matrices and routing outputs can be generated solely from geographic coordinates...
