How do I go about understanding how a delivery app algorithm works?

2 points by talmr 6y ago ↗ HN

I've been trying to look up how delivery app dispatching algorithms work, but I mostly find marketing articles instead. I'm wondering if I am perhaps using the wrong terms when I search. Are there any good resources on this topic that I can look into?

I'm not aware of any specific tutorials but here are search terms for the theory:

- supply chain management

- logistics

- graph theory (shortest path problem, node routing)

- network theory
