The paper introduces TELGEN, a traffic engineering algorithm that uses graph neural networks to predict an optimal TE algorithm rather than a direct solution. TELGEN generalizes across diverse network topologies and traffic patterns, achieving less than a 3% optimality gap on networks up to 5,000 nodes and 3.6 million links, while reducing solving time by up to 84% and training time by up to 79.6% compared to existing methods.
The paper introduces GREAT, a Graph Edge Attention Network that operates directly on edge space to handle asymmetric energy costs in the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem (EVRP). Integrated into a reinforcement learning framework, GREAT jointly optimizes routing and charging decisions, outperforming a strong HGS-based heuristic by up to 8.78% in energy savings and reducing runtime by a factor of 60. It also shows competitive performance against a custom adaptive large neighborhood search and achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on other asymmetric routing benchmarks such as TSP, CVRP, and Orienteering.
