Traveling-salesperson optimization tool for evolutionary search and comparison.

Optimization and search

Use an evolutionary-style search tool to compare routes, generations, and improvement.

Route Optimizer supports discussions of search, heuristics, improvement, and the strengths and limitations of evolutionary optimization strategies.
