Delivery Route Optimisation for Lagos Traffic

Posted 8 days ago · Closes in 15 days · 18 applied

Challenge Brief

A route that looks short on a map can take three hours at the wrong time of day in Lagos. Our dispatchers rely largely on experience to plan around this.

The team will build a planner that uses time-of-day travel patterns to suggest delivery routes, and compare the results against routes dispatchers planned themselves.

Requirements

  • Algorithms or operations research coursework
  • Python
  • Comfort working with messy location data

Deliverables

  1. A route planning tool
  2. A comparison against historical routes
  3. A guide for dispatchers
