Hi everyone,
I’m in the process of developing a ride-hailing platform that connects riders with drivers. The platform will match them based on several factors:
Pick-Up Location: Where the rider and driver is located.
Drop-Off Location: Where the rider and driver wants to go.
Preferred Timing: When the rider and driver needs a ride.
Availability: The driver and rider’s schedule and availability for different days of the week.
Currently, I’m facing challenges in creating an effective matching system. Specifically, I need help figuring out how to pair riders and drivers using these criteria, while also calculating a match score to indicate how well they align.
The match score should reflect how closely the rider’s and driver’s preferences and availabilities align. For instance, a high score could mean a perfect match in terms of timing and location, while a lower score could indicate that there are some discrepancies.
I would really appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to approach this matching process and develop a scoring system. Thank you!
