As an introduction to our automated dispatch assignment system, this article covers the system overview, assignment logic, monitoring approach, and our plan to introduce deep reinforcement learning.
This article explains the design of NearMe's external API platform for ridesharing services, including tenant setup, authentication, webhooks, and the relay service between internal and external APIs.
In this article, I will explain NearMe's CI architecture. We implemented CI using Argo running on Kubernetes.
In our service, we accumulate advance reservations and, each time a new order arrives, compute the best ride-sharing combination so dispatch decisions can be made incrementally. This article looks at the kinds of patterns that emerge in this process.
In this article, we look at the analogy between Kubernetes and dispatch routing.
In this article, I explain the main parameters used in ridesharing shuttles, show that one extreme becomes taxi-like while the other becomes bus-like, and discuss how we can connect the two smoothly.
In our pre-booking airport shuttle ridesharing service, we perform routing sequentially as orders come in, and there is a "routing state" that changes over time across all orders. In this article, we will explain the state management of dispatch routing with architecture.
