Daily Driving Route Optimization for Small Businesses Using Metaheuristics

Program: Data Science Master's
Location: Not Specified (onsite)
Student: Bradford Simkins

My project is Daily Driving Route Optimization for Small Businesses Using Metaheuristics or Other Methods. The project is to create a route optimization software that can be marketed as a service to small local businesses with daily driving routes. I will then create a business plan to assess the feasibility of this idea as a real business. This is basically a traveling salesman problem that I would optimize using different metaheuristics methods. There are many businesses that this could appeal to, like: Pool service Bottled water delivery Landscaping Rural propane delivery Small farm distribution of produce to local restaurants and stores Furniture delivery Restaurant food delivery
