An user interface equipped with a map for a testbed on studying virus (e.g COVID-19) spreading in ride-sharing systems

The simulator is equipped with a novel order dispatch algorithm in large-scale on-demand ride-hailing platforms that take account of the dynamic characteristics associated with workers. Although most traditional order dispatch approaches generally focus on providing a better user experience for passengers and maximizing revenue by optimizing resource utilization, the proposed algorithm is designed to take into an account of the collective productivity of all workers and maximizing it opportunistically in response to stochastic changes in situational factors. This is also accompanied by a Multi-Agent Simulation to simulate the complex action and interactions of the drivers and passengers, and to analyze the effects of change in factors. After the implementation of the algorithm and simulation, we evaluated the effects in earnings, reputation and fatigue. In the most recent outbreak of the disease on COVID-19, the simulation also has a few mechanisms in showing how it spread among the drivers and passengers through the use of the proposed algorithm.
Please download the Golang Simulation and run the dispatcher simulator server first.
In the project directory, you can run:
Runs the app in the development mode.

Please ensure you have started running the simulator (Golang).
- Click "Connect" button to connect the simulator (Golang) via Websocket
- Adjust the parameters and submit the parameters to the simulator
- Draw a boundary on the map
- Enter the number of drivers to spawn (< 500)
- Click "Spawn" button
- Click "Retrieve Orders" button for the simulator to load the ride (orders) data
- Click "Start" button

The map visulization tool is able to generate data regarding to the drivers (reputation, fatigue, etc) and virus after the simulation has ended . It is stored under driver and virus folder under Assets folder (in the simulator)
