# Urban Meal Delivery This repository holds code analyzing the data of an undisclosed urban meal delivery platform operating in France from January 2016 to January 2017. The goal is to optimize the platform's delivery process involving independent couriers. ## Structure The analysis is structured into three aspects that iteratively build on each other. ### Real-time Demand Forecasting ### Predictive Routing ### Shift & Capacity Planning ## Installation & Contribution To play with the code developed for the analyses, you can clone the project with [git](https://git-scm.com/) and install the contained `urban-meal-delivery` package and all its dependencies in a [virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html) with [poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/): `git clone https://github.com/webartifex/urban-meal-delivery.git` and `poetry install --extras research` The `--extras` option is necessary as the non-develop dependencies are structured in the [pyproject.toml](https://github.com/webartifex/urban-meal-delivery/blob/develop/pyproject.toml) file into dependencies related to only the `urban-meal-delivery` source code package and dependencies used to run the [Jupyter](https://jupyter.org/) environment with the analyses.
