Completed personal version of Rideshare Clustering including demo version with data generation and pdf explanation of the project I did with AHTaylor

Rideshare Clustering

This is a project I co-created with Austin Taylor at the end of a scientific computation course. Inspired by the desire to reduce the weekly workload in clustering drivers to riders in a music performance club I was in where we would do weekly performances for local homeless shelters and retirement centers.

In essence, we coded an agglomerative clustering method (complete-linkage clustering) from scratch because it fit our use case quite well to make nicely compact rider groups. The information was collected through google forms and downloaded as a CSV from a weekly email sent out. (Fake data provided to supplement the proof-of-concept work).
