This paper explores the application of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to solve the complex Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) in the logistics industry. It presents a case study focusing on truck network design for three distinct use cases, demonstrating how DRL agents can optimize routes. The research indicates that DRL-based optimization achieved over a 10% reduction in total cost compared to baseline methods, suggesting potential for broader generalization to various VRP types in future work.
