Inspiration
Navigating McGill University’s extensive campus can be challenging, especially during harsh winters or for new students. We noticed that McGill has many underground tunnells but its very difficult to navigate them and not a lot of people know about them. We wanted to create a tool that simplifies this process by offering both underground and overground routes, optimizing travel based on time, distance, and warmth. Our goal is to enhance the campus experience by combining technology and practicality.
What it does
Displays underground and overground routes for efficient campus navigation. Detects the user's current location and also accepts a destination as input. Highlights all possible routes to the destination and provides details such as:
- Time it will take to reach.
- Distance covered.
- Temperature of the route.
- Estimated Time of Arrival Recommends the optimal route based on shortest distance, fastest time, and warmer conditions. Connects to live weather forecasts to provide real-time temperature updates. Offers a feature to save commonly used routes for quick access.
How we built it
- Built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create an interactive map and a user-friendly interface.and Python for route calculation
