Tuesdays start with team updates, so as always we just did a quick update about what we've been up to this past week. Basically we reported on how we have been working to get all the pieces of our rerouting function together, and then we also started creating the main function that will call each of the individual pieces. Our challenge coming up this week is going to be integrating all the different pieces and making them all fit together, as well as starting to think critically about how it will fit with the interface we want to give to the dispatcher.
The rest of the day we all basically just worked on different aspects of the project. I kept working on concerns with the ugly rides, but I also contributed to many discussions we had throughout the day about different little issues in our code and how we should address different problems that arose along the way. Ugly rides became much more annoying today when I started digging deeper, and realized that my sneaking suspicions about something being wrong with the cost per boardings seems to be correct. Therefore, I spent much of today revisiting old code, trying to make sure our original cost per boarding analysis for ugly rides was correct. To complicate matters though, the script that was actually used is on Frank's branch so I couldn't find it at first since I was looking in the master branch on github. Then, once I started testing to better understand the script and find any bugs, I realized that the csv file he originally used has since been updated with a csv that has different columns and column names, which voids different parts of the R file. In short, it was all just really annoying, and I'm still not sure yet if something is going wrong in the calculations, and if so, what is going wrong and how to fix it.
