Abstract

One of the changes is in terms of shopping. Previously, people shopped through physical stores, but since the emergence of online shopping platforms, people have started to switch to using the marketplace as a place to make buying and selling transactions. This platform utilizes expedition services to send packages in the form of ordered goods from sellers to buyers. This activity presents a new problem, which is related to the efficiency of package delivery by courier services so that goods can arrive as quickly as possible in the hands of buyers. Graph modeling to solve a problem related to the shortest path and the fastest path is adapted in this paper. The algorithm used is Prim's Algorithm, which is an algorithm to determine the minimum spanning tree of a connected weighted graph. The test results show that the algorithm is suitable for increasing packet delivery efficiency by determining the shortest path based on the minimum spanning tree concept. By taking a sample of travel routes on the island of Java, the best route was obtained with a total distance of 1,771 kilometers connecting cities from the city of Jakarta to the city of Banyuwangi.
