First project for the DA course unit at FEUP.

A company wants to create an electronic crowdsourcing platform for deliveries. They hire couriers for the normal deliveries and they have a van for the express deliveries. In this project, we should develop algorithms to optimize different scenarios, such as:

• Use the minimum couriers possible while delivering the maximum orders
• Maximize the profit
• Minimize the average delivery time

This project uses cmake. Assuming it's installed and properly setup, simply run cmake -S . -B build in this project's directory to generate the build system, then cmake --build build to actually build the project.

This will generate two binaries in the build directory, da_proj1 and da_proj1_no_ansi, one that uses ANSI escape codes and one that doesn't.

Additionally, documentation will also be generated in the docs folder. Run git submodule init then git submodule update then build again to get the documentation website looking fancy.

Simply run the executable generated in the last section.

The UI is quite simple and self descriptive. You are presented with options to check the available vans and the orders to be delivered. You can also choose a dataset to be load in the program and one of the scenarios mencioned above.

The program expects the datasets folder next to the current working directory. This can be changed in the constants.hpp file.
