My Business Cases:

  • A system where people can rent bicycles for seamless travel to and from transit stops:
    The system where people can rent bicycles for seamless travel to and from transit stops relies on algorithms to manage bike availability and routing. It optimizes bike assignment, route calculation, and real-time data processing to minimize travel time and adjust prices during peak hours. Redistribution of bikes between stations is also optimized to minimize costs and time.
    Probable Tools:
    Hashmap and Greedy Algorithms (Knapsack Problem, Huffman Coding, Prim’s Algorithm, Kruskal’s Algorithm, Dijkstra’s Algorithm) Why Kruskal’s Algorithm?
    Kruskal's algorithm is ideal for optimizing bike redistribution by minimizing connection costs between stations. Its edge-based approach works well for sparse station networks, ensuring cost-effective and balanced resource allocation.
  • A map that shows safe walking and cycling paths in the city:
    A map that shows safe walking and cycling paths uses graph algorithms to represent roads and intersections as nodes and edges. It calculates the safest and shortest routes based on factors like traffic, road conditions, and accidents. Real-time data, such as road closures, is incorporated to ensure the most efficient and up-to-date route suggestions.
    Probable Tools:
    BFS, DFS, Bellman-Ford. why Bellman-ford Algorithm?
    The Bellman-Ford algorithm is suitable because it handles graphs with negative weights, which can represent safety risks or hazards. It efficiently calculates the shortest and safest paths while accommodating dynamic updates like real-time road closures or conditions.
