Abstract: This paper is a survey about of the Truck and Trailer Routing Problem. The Truck and Trailer Routing Problem is an extension of the well-known Vehicle Routing Problem. Defined recently, this problem consists in designing the optimal set of routes for fleet of vehicles (trucks and trailers) in order to serve a given set of geographically dispersed customers. Since TTRP itself is a very difficult combinatorial optimization problem are usually tackled by metaheuristics. The interest in Truck and Trailer Routing Problem is motivated by its practical relevance as well as by its considerable difficulty. The goal of this paper is to show a study on the TTRP and the metaheuristics used for to solve it.
