Truck Package Routing and Tracking Simulation

Overview

A simulation tool that uses the nearest neighbor algorithm to optimize package routing for delivery trucks, enhancing efficiency and reducing delivery times.

Key Features

• Nearest neighbor algorithm for route optimization
• Real-time tracking of delivery packages
• Visualization of delivery routes
• User-friendly interface for inputting delivery locations

Technical Implementation

Nearest Neighbor Algorithm

python
def nearest_neighbor(start, locations):
    unvisited = locations.copy()
    route = [start]
    current = start

    while unvisited:
        next_location = min(unvisited, key=lambda loc: distance(current, loc))
        route.append(next_location)
        unvisited.remove(next_location)
        current = next_location

    return route

Development Process

• Implemented in Python for algorithm development
• Focused on efficiency and accuracy in routing
