The proposed metaheuristic algorithm combines neighborhood search and path relinking with feature-based guidance to solve the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP). A supervised Machine Learning model formulates the guidance, controlling solution diversity during optimization. The guided metaheuristic shows a statistically significant improvement over traditional methods, producing competitive solutions among state-of-the-art algorithms.
