Optimizing Uber Freight Operations with Urban Consolidation Centres

This project is a hackathon submission to Uber’s Hackathon Hacktag 2021. The hackathon required providing an innovative solution around the theme “Uber beyond Mobility and Delivery." Duration: February 2021 - March 2021 Ideation Details: Urban Consolidation Centers(UCCs) are locations, typically on the outskirts of cities, where deliveries are brought, sorted, and then dispatched. Goods from multiple suppliers can be consolidated into fewer shipments, making it possible to optimize loads and truck sizes, thus cutting down on the number of trips and vehicles required.
