Developed a Branch & Price algorithm integrated with XGBoost to predict driver behavior and optimize order assignments. The solution achieved a 62-71% reduction in delivery delays compared to traditional heuristics. This work addresses the stochastic nature of driver acceptance in gig-economy platforms.
