Welcome to UberWalk!
This is our submission for the 2023 Uber Global Hackthon.
By Kirk, Thomas, Andrew, and Cyke.
More details of our application is on the report. Our application calculates the pickup point between the user and their destination. This pickup point is special: it takes both the user and the driver an equal amount of time to arrive at this location. This ensures that the person is encouraged to walk, while the car drives less as the path towards the destination is more direct. Ultimately, neither the driver nor the user has to wait for each other, as they arrive to the pickup point at the same time.
To use our application, follow these instructions very carefully.
- Our application takes 3 addresses. The addresses required are labeled next to each box.
- The addresses must be in this EXACT format: street #, street name, city, Canada. Ex: 1455 Glen Abbey Gate, Oakville, Canada
- Otherwise, the safest way to input a valid address is use the address provided by Google Maps when you search for this location. Ex: This address "1455 Glen Abbey Gate, Oakville, ON L6M 2G5" is completely valid, and it was taken from Google.
- Press submit, and you the pickup point and how long it takes to arrive at the pickup point will be displayed to you.
- You will also see the discount in dollars. More on this in our report
