Taxi Route Optimization
Taxi operators lose efficiency to empty seats and detours. This solution, built from the ground up, calculates the most efficient routes from real-time road conditions, passenger locations and trip costs, and - critically - combines trips so that one car can pick up several passengers along an optimised path. It also handles services for individuals with disabilities and other operator-specific rules that improve service quality and budget. The platform was delivered on AWS with a Blazor front end and automated tests by a six-person team - team lead, two senior and two middle developers, and a PM - over one year, using an agile process and meeting every expected outcome. The route planner's trip combination effectively increased the number of available cars for the operator fourfold.
