Garcetti said that the partnership would mean "less congestion, better routing, and a more livable L.A".
Garcetti said that the partnership would mean "less congestion, better routing, and a more livable L.A". Di-Ann Eisnor, Waze's head of growth, acknowledged to me that these kinds of deals can cause discomfort to the people working inside city government.
The proposed scheme, called COPE, can improve wireless throughput, including more accurate congestion control, better routing, and efficient MAC protocols.
Uber previously relied on external routing apps like Google Maps and Waze, but now the service has been designed specifically for drivers, offering better routing and improved pick-ups and drop-offs.
Analogous to text messaging, as one official familiar with the technology said, the technology will increase the amount and speed of information flow, allowing better routing and reduced delays.
Uber's Maps product team lead Manik Gupta and driver app senior product manager Maya Choksi told me in an interview that the whole project is designed to help improve service in general, offering better routing from point A to point B during a trip, but also improved pick-ups, drop-offs and, perhaps most importantly, improved driver experience.
Garg and his colleagues believe the process of fulfilling search queries will become more seamless, so they've built systems that seek to automatically produce better routing based on a host of inputs.
In addition, it is more effective as it avoids flooding the network blindly, while searching all the available feasible paths in parallel so as to ensure a better chance of successful routing and a more efficient use of network resources.
This indicates that BR might be a practical and better routing protocol than DTFR, when the number of nodes is on that order.
Wal-Mart, for example, aimed to double fleet efficiency between 2005 and 2015 through better routing, truck loading, driver training, and advanced technologies.
They're already battling for faster pick-ups and better routing algorithms.
