What it does
LoadMode finds the optimal route for truckers to minimize deadhead and maximize profit.
How we built it
We built it using the django web framework.
Challenges we ran into
We had to develop an application in a very short amount of time. We had never set up a full application in django before. Half of our team had never worked with APIs either. We were also all very unfamiliar with the pandas library, but it proved very useful to deal with csv files.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are very proud to submit a working product (limited api and algorithm). This is our very first hackathon and many of us had school work to do during the hackathon, so we could not put as much effort into the challenge as we had hoped.
What we learned
We learned about pathfinding algorithms and how to use django and pandas.
What's next for LoadMode
We want to improve our algorithm to make it run faster.
