An optimization algorithm to be used on an on board decision support system for the route selection is described. The optimization genetic algorithm adopted in this work, the upgraded Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm, as well as the setting of the domain and the objective functions are presented. The genetic algorithm allows the identification of the best routes in the Pareto frontier meaning. A discussion about the further improvements of the system and the most suitable objective criteria is also provided. Finally a test case will allow assessing the performance of the tool.
