What it does
ReRoute acts as a civil service planning application. This application allows for users to plot two points, anywhere on the world, particularly in local city maps, and it calculates the distance between the two points, the cost of how much a road would cost, based on how many lanes chosen by the users, and at last, gives a traffic approximation based on the nearby vicinity of the terrain and roads.
All of which is to enhance the overview of city council's choice to expand or create new roads or simply just to give a close approximation of the nearby territory.
How I built it
We called upon Mapbox's API to display the map and the ability to draw polylines, in which we can determine how many meters one point is to another.
In the backend of the app, ReRoute calculates the cost, the distance, and the elevation of the two points.
We then utilized Here:Maps for Life's API to measure the traffic of such created distances between each other based on the vicinity of the streets surrounding and the terrain of the points.
Challenges I ran into
Implementing and overlaying API's over each other to work together and create the web app as it is now.
What I learned
It costs $90/yards^3 for concrete. It costs about $1-$3 MILLION to build just one mile of highway.
What's next for ReRoute
The simplicity of choice and expansion of separate entities and entitlements to users who would like to see certain features or information(s) implemented into the application.
