In this work, a discrete evolutionary model, developed from the Physarun approach, is proposed to address the traffic assignment problem in urban networks. Special attention is given to two key aspects: a) the capacity constraints on communication routes, ensuring that no infeasible flows are generated, and b) the consideration of non-local cost functions, which take into account not only the vehicular flow of each arc but also the influence of other arcs within the network. The mathematical formulation of the problem is described, and examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
