1.1. INSTALL: conda install skimage conda install -c anaconda sqlalchemy conda install -c conda-forge polyline
2.0. root folder - experiment: initalize vehicle location, populate vehicles, enter market, match, dispatch, and update. - main: run the simulation and DQN learning(if enabled), record metrics. - parse_results: preliminary result processing and visualization
2.1. central agent: MATCH vehciles and request, calculate cost per request
2.2. common: get and solve spatial infomation, get current time
2.3. config: spatial settings and time/time step settings.
2.4. data: preprocessed data
2.5. db: path for database
2.6. dqn agent: vehicles that learning DISPATCH policy with DQN
2.7. dummy agent: vehicles that follows fixed DISPATCH and MATCH policy.
2.8. logger: a directory for paths that saves results
2.9. logs:
2.10. novelties: sets of codes to present various types of agents, vehicle category, vehicle status, customer perferences.
2.11. osrm/osrm-backend: for OSRM Engine deployment
2.12. simulator
- models: customer and vehicles
- service: demand generation, routing, sending requests to OSRM engine
- simulator: key processes of vehcile-customer interaction
- settings: config for simulation
2.13. tools: driver for saving files, dot dictionary to save parameters.
